🌿 THALICHA PATHIRI – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Thalicha Pathiri is a medicinal leaf herb used in Siddha and folk medicine. In traditional herbal markets, it is commonly identified with species of Thalictrum—most often Thalictrum foliolosum—and the leaves are the primary part used.
The herb is valued for its bitter taste, cooling nature, and cleansing properties. It is usually sold as dried leaves or leaf powder and used in decoctions (kashayam), powders, and external washes.
📌 Note: As with many country drugs, the exact botanical identity can vary slightly by region and supplier; however, Thalictrum species are the most widely accepted identification in Siddha trade.
