About Ratanjot (Alkanet Root) — Ayurvedic Insight 🌿
Ratanjot (Alkanna tinctoria), called Alkanet or Ratanot, is the natural red-purple pigment herb used in traditional Kashmiri cuisine and Ayurvedic hair care. When infused in warm oil, it releases a rich crimson colour — the secret behind the characteristic red colour in Kashmiri Rogan Josh and authentic butter chicken. In hair care, Ratanjot-infused oil is used in traditional recipes for hair growth, scalp health, and natural colouring. Contains rosmarinic acid and alkannin — compounds with documented wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties. Also used in natural lip tints and Ayurvedic formulations for skin conditions. Increasingly rare and sought-after for natural dye craft.
