Leucas Dried flower / Thumbai Poo

Experience the extraordinary healing power of Leucas Dried Flower, one of Ayurveda’s most treasured medicinal herbs. Known as “Thumbai Poo” in Tamil tradition, these pristine white flowers have been nature’s pharmacy for centuries, offering potent therapeutic benefits that modern science continues to validate.

Sacred Botanical Heritage

Leucas aspera, belonging to the prestigious Lamiaceae family, grows wild throughout the Indian subcontinent from the Himalayas to Ceylon. This remarkable herb produces delicate, butterfly-like white flowers arranged in beautiful clusters that crown the plant’s quadrangular stems. Each flower, though small and humble in appearance, contains a powerhouse of bioactive compounds that have made it indispensable in traditional healing systems.

Ancient Wisdom, Proven Efficacy

Classified as “Dronapushpi” in Sanskrit – meaning “vessel of flowers” – this sacred herb has been prescribed by Ayurvedic and Siddha practitioners for over 3,000 years. Traditional texts celebrate its unique ability to balance the body’s doshas while providing targeted therapeutic action for multiple health conditions.

Premium Therapeutic Profile

Our carefully dried Leucas flowers deliver a rich spectrum of healing compounds including triterpenoids, oleanolic acid, ursolic acid, β-sitosterol, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and essential oils. This powerful phytochemical profile provides:
