Powders and Spices
Powdered herbs are the oldest delivery format in Ayurveda for a reason. When you mix churna directly into warm water, ghee, or honey, the herbs begin working on contact with the mucous membranes of the mouth. The taste itself is considered therapeutic in Ayurvedic theory, which is either a profound insight about gustatory receptor signaling or a very elegant way of explaining why traditional medicine tastes the way it does. Banyan's powders are USDA Organic certified, ground from whole herbs, and packaged without fillers, flow agents, or anything else designed to make the powder pour more attractively.
Moringa Powder delivers one of the most nutrient-dense plants on the planet in bulk format. Haritaki Powder provides the full-pound option for practitioners who use this rejuvenative fruit daily. Trikatu Powder, the classical "three pungents" blend of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper, serves as both a standalone digestive aid and a bioavailability enhancer for other herbs. Avipattikar Powder follows a traditional formula for digestive comfort that has been in continuous use for centuries.
Bitter Melon Powder brings the blood sugar support properties of Momordica charantia in a format flexible enough for capsule-filling, smoothie-blending, or the traditional method of mixing it into warm water and confronting the flavor directly. Anantamul Powder and Cardamom Powder expand the range into single-herb specifics that practitioners can blend according to their own formulation expertise.
The Fair Trade sourcing commitment applies here with particular force. Bulk herbs are the category most vulnerable to supply chain corners-cutting, because powder is powder and nobody can tell by looking at it whether the grower was paid a living wage. Banyan can tell you, and they will, because they tracked it from the field to the bag.
