What is Parijat Leaf Powder?
Parijat, known locally as Harshringar or पारिजात in Hindi, is the dried leaf powder of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis, a revered plant in Ayurvedic and traditional wellness systems. Also called Night Jasmine for its fragrant evening blooms, parijat leaves have been traditionally incorporated into wellness routines across India, particularly in Maharashtra and other regions. Our Patil Foods version is carefully harvested, dried, and ground to preserve the natural compounds and traditional potency.
