KARUVELAM Tooth powder

Karuvelam tooth powder is a traditional herbal dental cleaning powder made primarily from Karuvelam pattai (the bark of the Karuvelam or Babul/Acacia tree, known botanically as Prosopis juliflora or Acacia nilotica), traditionally used in Tamil Nadu for centuries to support oral hygiene.
