What is Pushkarmool?

Pushkarmool, botanically known as Inula racemosa, is a prized herb in Ayurvedic and traditional Indian wellness systems. The name derives from Sanskrit, where “Pushkar” refers to the lotus and “Mool” means root—symbolizing its revered status in ancient texts. This whole dried root is the part traditionally used in Ayurvedic formulations and culinary preparations across India, particularly in Maharashtra and the Deccan regions. For international customers, it is also known as Orris Root or Pushkar Mool.
