Ragini Herbocare

Ragini Herbocare is tucked away at 60 Saradapally in Kolkata. The zip code is 700111 if you are trying to find it on a map. Our space is usually filled with the smell of dried leaves, oils, and different roots. It isn't a clinical lab or a big factory. It’s more like a workshop where we deal with natural stuff every day of the week. The shelves are packed with jars and different containers. In Kolkata, the humidity can be a bit of a challenge for storing herbs, so we have to be very careful about how things are kept. We spend a lot of time sorting through supplies and making sure everything is clean. The neighborhood is fairly quiet, which is nice when you are trying to concentrate on mixing things correctly. Neighbors often walk past the open door and wave. We don't have a fancy website or a sales team to promote us. If someone needs something, they usually just come by or send a message. It is a small-scale operation. We use old methods that have been around for a long time. There is no corporate ladder here. It is just us working with what the earth gives. The floor is often covered in bits of bark or flower petals by the end of the day. We sweep it up and start again the next morning. It's honest work and it keeps us busy from Monday to Saturday. We like the pace of things here.
