Lodh Pathani Powder (Symplocos racemosa) is made from the bark of an evergreen, medium-sized tree native to India and Southeast Asia. The tree features greyish, warty bark, shiny elliptic leaves, and clusters of small, cream-colored flowers. Its bark is light brown and thin, while the fruit is a purplish-black drupe containing one to three hard seeds. Lodh Pathani Powder is traditionally included in herbal blends and skincare preparations for its astringent and bitter taste. The bark naturally contains plant compounds such as flavonoids and tannins, and is valued in various traditional practices.
