Sourced from trusted suppliers and processed without fillers or preservatives, our Asafoetida offers both culinary richness and medicinal potency—just as nature intended.

Digestive & Gut Health Booster

For centuries, Hing has been revered in Ayurveda as a powerful carminative and digestive stimulant. It enhances the secretion of digestive enzymes, reduces gas and bloating, and helps in managing constipation and indigestion naturally.

🔸 Commonly used after heavy meals to reduce abdominal discomfort.
🔸 Effective in improving appetite and easing irritable bowel symptoms.

Respiratory Support & Immune Boost

Asafoetida has expectorant and anti-inflammatory effects that support clear breathing. It’s traditionally used in herbal remedies for:

• Coughs, asthma, and bronchitis

• Nasal congestion and sinusitis

• Boosting respiratory health, especially during seasonal changes

Natural Antimicrobial & Anti-Inflammatory

Known for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial action, Asafoetida is effective against harmful bacteria and fungi. Its anti-inflammatory properties also make it helpful for:

• Joint and muscle pain (especially in arthritis)

• Menstrual cramps and spasms

• Skin conditions like acne, eczema, and minor infections when used in home remedies

Culinary Magic – A Little Goes a Long Way

Perungayam is widely used in Indian cuisine to add depth and umami to dishes like dals, rasam, sambar, pickles, and spice blends. A small pinch in hot oil releases a robust aroma and bold flavor, especially helpful for satvik (onion-free and garlic-free) cooking.

💡 Pro Tip: Try adding a touch of Asafoetida to mashed potatoes, lentils, marinades, or even salad dressings for a unique savory edge.
