What is Arapu Ilai?

Sourced from the sacred Albizia Amara tree, Arapu leaves have been used for centuries as a natural, herbal alternative to chemical-laden shampoos. Especially popular in South Indian households, these dried leaves are sun-dried and traditionally ground into a fine powder to cleanse and condition hair.

At Naturoherbs, we bring you premium-quality, hand-harvested Arappu leaves grown in clean, rural environments—free from pesticides and artificial processing.
