About this material
Jatamansi is the rhizome of Nardostachys jatamansi, a high-altitude Himalayan plant, and it is unmistakable in the hand: each piece is wrapped in a dense mat of reddish-brown fibres, the persistent remains of old leaf bases, which is why the trade name Balchhar translates as matted hair. The species is listed in CITES Appendix II, so this material moves against the appropriate documentation and is quoted per consignment rather than carried as an open stock line. Enquiries should state the end use and the destination country, since both affect what paperwork is required.
Also called
Balchhar, Spikenard, Bhutajata
Traditional use: Traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Unani preparations.
