About Koshtam (Crepe Ginger Root)

Raw Crepe Ginger, known traditionally as Koshtam, is a treasured plant in Ayurveda and Siddha systems of medicine. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, this rhizomatous herbaceous plant thrives in both hilly and lowland climates, showcasing its adaptive strength and rich medicinal properties.
