Part Used: Dried aerial parts of Phyllanthus niruri / Phyllanthus amarus, finely milled
Description: Bhui Amla Powder is produced from the dried aerial parts of Phyllanthus niruri or Phyllanthus amarus, two closely related tropical herbs recognized for their slender stems and small alternating leaves. The plant material is harvested during active growth, thoroughly cleaned to remove natural field debris, and dried to preserve its natural green to brown colour. Once fully dried, the herb is finely milled into a smooth, uniform powder suitable for various creative, cosmetic, and botanical formulation uses.
The Phyllanthus plant develops delicate stems lined with small leaves, creating a lightweight structure that grinds evenly when dried. The resulting powder retains the natural earthy colour and subtle botanical aroma of the herb. Its consistent particle size allows it to blend easily into dry mixtures, visual craft projects, powdered blends, and educational herb kits.
Fresh aerial plant parts are washed, air-dried or warm-air dried to reduce moisture, and milled under controlled conditions to achieve a fine texture. The powder is then sifted to remove larger fragments or debris. No additives, fillers, or processing agents are used, resulting in a pure botanical ingredient composed solely of dried and milled aerial plant material.
Uses: Bhui Amla Powder is used in botanical craft blends, powdered incense-style mixtures, resin art, potpourri-style preparations, natural colourant applications, and educational herb kits. Its fine texture, natural earthy colour, and uniform consistency make it suitable for creative projects requiring a smooth botanical powder.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
