Description

Important Note

Karingali has a long history of traditional use, but traditional use should not be interpreted as proof that it can treat, prevent or cure medical conditions.

Use only food-grade Karingali obtained from a reliable source. Plant materials can vary in identity and quality, so proper botanical identification is important. Concentrated extracts or medicinal preparations should be used only with appropriate professional guidance.

The Balanzing Thought

Karingali reflects the simplicity of traditional Kerala food and beverage practices. A small piece of naturally sourced heartwood can impart colour and a distinctive earthy character to ordinary water, preserving a unique regional tradition.
