Reetha, also known as Ritha, Arishta, or Soapnut, is one of the most important medicinal plants used in Ayurveda. Botanically identified as Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn., it belongs to the Sapindaceae family. The fruit of Reetha contains high concentrations of natural saponins, which produce a cleansing lather when mixed with water. For centuries, it has been used as a natural cleanser for the hair, skin, and textiles, while also serving as a medicinal herb for treating various disorders.
