Rayush Naturals transforms vetiver (khus) roots—a traditional aromatic grass— into innovative, sustainable home textiles like blinds, curtains, and floorings. Through a patented process, these roots are converted into durable, breathable yarn that offers multiple natural benefits. Unlike synthetic products that consume energy and release harmful chemicals, those textiles provide natural cooling, absorb excess humidity, and release a gentle stress-relieving aroma. They also act as a mosquito repellent and offer UV protection, making living spaces healthier and more comfortable without electricity or chemicals. By replacing plastics and synthetic furnishings, their products reduce microplastic pollution and carbon footprint. At the same time, Rayush Naturals promotes vetiver cultivation, which helps restore degraded land, prevent soil erosion, and create livelihood opportunities for rural women and farmers. This is where tradition meets innovation, offering homes worldwide a sustainable alternative.
