Yellow Myrobalan with Fitkari Ayurvastra Muslin Fabric - 5 meters
Yellow Myrobalan or Haritaki as it is known in Sanskrit, is known for its prabhav or remarkable ability to balance all doshas. It is not completely understood how this powerful herb does this, but when used medicinally it gently brings balance to Pitta, Vata, and Kapha. This is why it is one of the key ingredients for the commonly used Ayurvedic herb blend of triphala, used to promote good health by nurturing healthy digestion for all doshas.
Haritaki dyed ayurvastra muslin fabrics can vary in color from a buttery yellow to warm grey. The addition of fitkari or alum to the dye bath imparts an olive toned hue.
Alum is a natural astringent and does not affect haritaki’s natural healing properties nor does it interfere with the healing properties of the Ayurvedic kashayam infusion added to the dye bath.

Our ayurvastra muslin fabrics are woven by hand on traditional looms in Rajasthani villages by weaving communities. All our fabrics are infused with a kashayam of pure Ayurvedic herbs. Kashayam baths are charged with the incantation of the Gayatri mantra to offer gratitude to the earth and blessings for the wearer.
These fabrics are extremely soft to the touch and very light, perfect for airy garments and home accessories like curtains and table linens.
Our fabrics are not dip-dyed. The threads for both the warp and the weft are dyed (except for our undyed natural muslin), and then woven into muslins that offer vibrant, even color across the fabric.
All fabrics are triple-washed to minimize fading and shrinkage.
This fabric is crafted by hand, therefore, there may be slight imperfections in the texture and color that are characteristic of the Ayurvastra process and contribute to the uniqueness of handmade fabrics. The colors shown may also differ slightly as a result of variations in screen resolutions and color configurations.
