Dried Raw Wild Turmeric

The Kasturi Manjal is one among the 80 members of the Zingiberaceae family of plants. The perennial foliage dies down in late autumn and the rhizomes remain dormant in winter.  The stalk grows to about 20–30 centimeters tall and is crowned with enlarged colored bracts with pink tips. Leaves often appear even after the flowers. When in full growth the plants can reach a height of about 40 cm tall. Each turmeric has its own uses and health benefits but when it comes to external applications, wild turmeric is the king.

Kasturi Manjal, also known as musk yellow, is a widely used ingredient in South Asia. The musk yellow has been used in various medicines and cosmetics. Yellow is known to be a natural ingredient in enhancing beauty.
