Part Used: Dried roots of Coleus forskohlii (Plectranthus barbatus)
Description: Coleus forskohlii Root C/S is prepared from the mature roots of Coleus forskohlii, a perennial plant native to India and cultivated in tropical regions. The plant develops thick, fleshy roots with a pale brown outer surface and firm interior structure. Roots are harvested when fully developed to ensure consistent size, density, and botanical character.
After harvesting, the roots are thoroughly washed to remove soil and field debris. They are then dried using controlled air-drying or low-temperature methods to reduce moisture while preserving their natural colour and fibrous texture. Once fully dried, the roots are cut and sifted into evenly sized pieces suitable for blending and handling.
The finished cut and sifted root pieces display a light to medium brown colour with a firm, woody texture and visible fibrous interior. The uniform particle size supports ease of measuring, blending, and storage. The processed form maintains the natural botanical identity of the root material and provides a clean, stable ingredient for applications.
Uses: Coleus forskohlii Root C/S is used in botanical craft projects, educational herb kits, decorative plant displays, natural dye work, and creative applications where dried root material is required. The cut and sifted format allows for easy handling and blending in dry formulations that feature plant-based root components.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in a well-sealed container.
