Broom Crop, also known as broom grass, is a naturally growing perennial grass used traditionally for making eco-friendly brooms and in Ayurvedic wellness. Apart from household cleaning tools, broom crop is valued in various tribal and rural communities for its spiritual and purifying uses. The long, sturdy fibers of this grass make it ideal for handcrafting brooms that are biodegradable and sustainable.

Broom Crop is also being studied for its fibrous nutrient content, with some applications in natural medicine and traditional healing.
Broom Crop has been used in Indian households and tribal communities for centuries. In ancient India, it was not only a household staple for sweeping but also a symbolic tool for spiritual cleansing and warding off negative energies. In Ayurveda, certain types of broom grass were associated with purifying energies and were used in ceremonial or ritualistic practices. With roots in ecological sustainability and traditional living, broom crop remains relevant in natural wellness and cultural rituals even today.
