Mulethi (Licorice Root)

Trioveda sources indigenous Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra) from organic heritage groves in the arid terrains of Northwestern India. Unlike commercial licorice powder often cut with starch or maltodextrin, our Mulethi is 100% pure, slow-ground root bark that retains up to 10% natural glycyrrhizin, glabridin, and liquiritin.

Glabridin is a potent bio-flavonoid that inhibits tyrosinase—the rate-limiting enzyme responsible for melanin synthesis in the skin. Clinical studies show that topical Mulethi extract significantly fades UV-induced sun tanning, dark spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) without causing rebound toxicity or skin thinning.

Yes. Mulethi is revered in Ayurveda as a supreme Pitta-shamaka (Pitta-soothing) botanical. Its glycyrrhizic acid exhibits natural anti-inflammatory activity comparable to mild hydrocortisone, calming red pustules, cystic inflammation, and rosacea flare-ups without disrupting the skin barrier.

When applied as a hair mask with yogurt or infused into coconut oil, Mulethi hydrates dry, scaly scalp tissue, opens clogged hair follicles, and supplies vital amino acids and plant sterols that fortify the hair shaft against breakage and premature thinning.

Mulethi is an indispensable cornerstone in classical formulations described in the Charaka Samhita, including Yashtimadhu Tailam (for hair longevity and scalp nourishment), Chandanadi Lepa (for complexional glow), and Varnakara Kwatha (complexion-brightening decoctions).

For dry, dehydrated, or mature Vata skin, blend 1 teaspoon of Mulethi powder with unpasteurized raw milk or sweet almond oil into a creamy paste. For oily, acne-prone, or sun-sensitive Pitta skin, blend Mulethi with pure rose hydrosol or aloe vera gel to maximize cooling radiance.

Yes, every batch of Trioveda Mulethi undergoes strict meticulous traditional hand-sorting. We verify zero detect of synthetic contaminants (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium), zero pesticide residues, and complete microbial safety compliant with AYUSH and Indian Pharmacopoeia standards.

Mulethi has Madhura (sweet) rasa, Guru (heavy) and Snigdha (unctuous) gunas, Sheeta (cooling) virya, and Madhura vipaka. This harmonizing profile deeply nourishes dry, aggravated Vata while neutralizing hot, reactive Pitta provoked by intense tropical summer heat.

For optimal results against stubborn pigmentation and sun tanning, apply a fresh Mulethi face pack 2 to 3 times weekly. Leave it on for 12 to 15 minutes until semi-dry, then rinse gently with lukewarm water using upward circular motions.
