Nagarmotha Powder is made from the dried, aromatic tubers of Cyperus rotundus, known in Ayurveda as Musta. This humble sedge, famous among farmers as a stubborn weed, has fragrant, earthy tubers that are prized in Ayurvedic digestive formulas, natural perfumery, incense and traditional skin and hair care.
Arizone International supplies Nagarmotha Powder and dried tubers for Ayurvedic manufacturers, incense and fragrance makers, herbal cosmetic brands, wholesalers and exporters.
From Weed to Precious Herb
Cyperus rotundus, also called nut grass or purple nutsedge, grows in almost every warm country and is often described as one of the world's most troublesome weeds, because its underground tubers spread quickly and are hard to remove. Yet those same small, dark tubers have a warm, woody, slightly spicy smell and have been valued for thousands of years. In India, nagarmotha grows wild across the country, especially in moist soils.
Distillation of the tubers produces cypriol or nagarmotha oil, a prized material in Indian attars and perfumery for its deep, earthy, smoky scent.
