Paneer Poo

🌿 What is Paneer Poo?

Paneer Poo (பனீர் பூ), meaning “Fragrant Flower” in Tamil, refers to the dried flowers of the Withania somnifera plant, popularly known as Indian Rennet or Paneer Flower. It is distinct from Ashwagandha, although the plant family is the same.

🌸 In traditional Siddha, Ayurveda, and Tamil folk practices, Paneer Poo is treasured for its ability to cool the body, promote restful sleep, balance digestion, regulate blood sugar, and enhance immunity.

🌸 These delicate, aromatic flowers are naturally sweet and cooling, making them ideal for herbal infusions, teas, and traditional remedies, especially during summer months when body heat needs to be controlled.

🌸 Paneer Poo is known for its calming and balancing effect on all three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), with a special focus on cooling excessive Pitta.
