Himalayan Artemisia Potli

In the cold deserts of Lahaul-Spiti and Kinnaur, where little else survives the dry, freezing mountain air, Artemisia grows wild across the high slopes. This hardy Himalayan herb is gathered by Mandasi from Lahaul, dried, and packed into small cloth potlis, bringing a piece of the high Himalaya into your home.
