🌸Rhododendron Syrup – The Himalayan Bloom in a Bottle

by IRA Savourings

High in the untouched valleys of the Himalayas blooms a vibrant red flower that has long been celebrated by mountain communities – the Rhododendron arboreum, locally known as Buransh. At IRA Savourings, we harvest this wild beauty and transform it into a delicious and healthful syrup, capturing the floral, tangy essence of the highlands in every bottle.

🌺 What is Rhododendron Syrup?

Our Rhododendron Syrup is made using hand-picked rhododendron petals, slow-brewed with lemon and unrefined cane sugar to create a drink that’s both soothing and invigorating. Traditionally known to balance body heat and boost heart health, it’s a Himalayan household staple for good reason.

đź’Ş Health Benefits

Rhododendron flowers are rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, supporting:

  • 🌿 Cardiovascular wellness

  • 🌿 Improved digestion

  • 🌿 Relief from fatigue

  • 🌿 Detoxification and internal cooling

Free from artificial additives, our syrup is crafted to retain the therapeutic qualities passed down through generations.
