Originates from “Lodhra, a tree belonging to the genus Symplocos and native to parts of India, has been valued for centuries, if not millennia, in India. There is a continuous tradition of lodhra being used in Ayurveda, the traditional medicine system in India, for the healing properties of the tree’s bark and leaves. Ancient historical references also tell us that parts of lodhra trees were used for dyeing fabric as its leaves yield yellow colour and its bark brown colour”.
Lodhra is a sentiment that connects us with rich traditional heritage and to our roots going back to ancient times”. More importantly in relation to textiles, lodhra was used as a mordant that helped fix colours of natural dyes that cloth was dyed in
The lodhra bark powder/dried leaves are boiled in water for an hour and then the fabric is dipped in it for four to twelve hours. After this the fabric is dried thoroughly and then dyed with a natural dye as required.
It binds colour well; it gives a beautiful vibrancy to natural dyes; works effectively on natural-fibre fabrics and natural-fibre yarns; and is part of India’s textile heritage.
