Sitopaladi Churan is an Ayurvedic herbal powder formulation that is commonly used for respiratory health. “Sitopaladi” means “rock sugar and butterfly tree bark” in Sanskrit, which are two of the primary ingredients in this formulation.

The powder is made by combining various herbs, including sitopaladi churna (a mixture of rock sugar, bamboo manna, long pepper, and black pepper), vamshalochana (bamboo manna), pippali (long pepper), and ela (cardamom). These herbs are believed to have anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and bronchodilator effects, and may help relieve cough, congestion, and other respiratory symptoms.
