Whole Dry Ginger, known as Sonth in Ayurveda, is the sun-dried form of fresh ginger root. At Farm Ayurveda, we provide premium-quality whole Dry Ginger sourced from organic farms, dried naturally without any chemicals. It retains its strong aroma and warming properties, making it an excellent spice for cooking and wellness applications.
This ancient spice is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine for its digestive, anti-inflammatory, and respiratory benefits. It plays a crucial role in herbal formulations, detox teas, and home remedies. Our whole Dry Ginger is carefully hand-selected and sun-dried to preserve its natural oils, sharp flavor, and therapeutic potency.
Dry Ginger has been a cornerstone of traditional medicine for over 5,000 years. It was extensively used in Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and ancient Greek healing practices. In India, Dry Ginger is classified as a “Maha-aushadhi” (great medicine) for its all-round health benefits. It was also a prized item in early trade routes, especially along the Silk Road and Arabian spice markets.
