Ancient Wisdom: The Story of Khatmi
Khatmi holds a revered place in traditional medicine systems across cultures. In ancient Egypt, it was considered a sacred herb, used in religious ceremonies and healing rituals. The plant's name Althaea comes from the Greek altho, meaning to cure, reflecting its long history as a medicinal plant.
In Ayurvedic medicine, Khatmi is recognized for its ability to balance Vata and Pitta doshas, making it a versatile healing herb. Persian traditional medicine has long valued these flowers for their gentle yet effective healing properties, particularly for respiratory and digestive health.
The cultivation of Khatmi in Afghanistan represents a continuation of ancient agricultural traditions, where the unique climate and soil conditions produce flowers of exceptional quality. This traditional knowledge has been passed down through generations of farmers who understand the precise timing and conditions needed for optimal harvest and drying.
