Health Essentials

Kamdhenu Gauveda health essentials are the everyday natural foods found in traditional Indian kitchens, chosen for purity and taste.

Swap refined sugar for natural jaggery (gur), available as cubes, blocks and powder, for chai, laddoos and everyday cooking. Add colour and aroma with Kashmiri saffron or Spanish saffron (kesar), season with pink Himalayan rock salt, and enjoy tangy amla candy, a favourite with children and adults alike. For the winter months, there is natural sugar-free chyawanprash, prepared to a traditional Ayurvedic recipe. Use them as part of a balanced diet.

Frequently asked questions

Jaggery cubes, blocks or powder: which should I buy?

Cubes are handy with tea or after meals; blocks suit cooking and sweets; powder dissolves fastest in chai, milk and baking.

What is the difference between Kashmiri and Spanish saffron?

Kashmiri saffron has deep red threads and a strong aroma; Spanish saffron is milder and more affordable for everyday use.

Is pink Himalayan salt the same as sendha namak?

Both are rock salt. Sendha namak is traditionally used during fasts (vrat), and many families use pink rock salt in its place.
