Mulberry Plant

From ancient Chinese herbal remedies to Greek mythology, mulberry has been deeply woven into medical and cultural traditions. In Ayurveda, Shahtoot is revered for its abundance of antioxidants, making it a potent anti-aging and skin-rejuvenating agent.

Traditionally, a paste made from mulberry leaves, berries, or bark was applied to the skin to soothe infections, reduce inflammation, and treat rashes.
