Kerala Naturals Pathimukham Sappan Wood 100g – Natural Herbal Drinking Water Mix

Information About Kerala Naturals Pathimukham 100g

Kerala Naturals Pathimukham 100g is a traditional herbal drinking-water ingredient made from the heartwood of the Sappan tree. Known as Pathimukham or Pathimugam in Kerala, it has been traditionally used to prepare naturally coloured drinking water.

When a small piece of Sappan Wood is boiled in water, it releases natural plant pigments that give the water a distinctive reddish-pink colour. The resulting drink has a mild woody character and is commonly enjoyed as a traditional refreshing beverage, particularly during warm weather.

This simple preparation makes Pathimukham a convenient addition to everyday household routines. It can be boiled with drinking water, cooled and served without requiring complicated preparation.

Kerala Naturals Pathimukham is suitable for people interested in traditional Kerala herbal beverages and natural drinking-water ingredients. The 100g pack is easy to store and use at home.
