Link Dhatri Churna — known on the packaging as Dhathree Choorna, தாத்திரி சூரணம் in Tamil, and දාතී චූර්ණය in Sinhala — is a proprietary Sri Lankan Ayurvedic formulation produced by Link Natural Products, a Colombo-based manufacturer with roots going back to 1982. It takes the form of a finely ground herbal powder, which is the classical Ayurvedic preparation known as a churna: the most fundamental solid dosage form in Ayurvedic pharmacy, traditionally taken with a vehicle such as warm water or honey.
The word 'Dhatri' is a classical Sanskrit name for the Indian Gooseberry, and that fruit — alongside the closely related Ayurvedic botanicals Aralu and Bulu — forms the heart of this formulation. Together these three fruits are well-established in Ayurvedic tradition as a compound preparation, and their presence alongside Senehe Kola gives Dhatri Churna a character that is specific to Link Natural's own Sri Lankan product line, distinct from other preparations that share a similar name in classical Ayurvedic literature. The product carries an Ayurvedic drug registration number (6/2/1/02/2) under Sri Lanka's Ayurvedic regulatory framework.
Link Natural Products manufactures this churna at its facility on Kew Road, Colombo, and positions it within its range of generic Ayurvedic products. The company, a subsidiary of CIC Holdings and registered with the Sri Lanka Export Development Board, describes its approach as one that draws on classical Ayurvedic knowledge alongside contemporary manufacturing standards.
The product is available in two pack formats: a 100 g foil-backed pouch with a hang hole, and a 1 kg plain foil bag with an adhesive label. The smaller pouch is well suited to household use or to trying the product for the first time, while the larger format is practical for practitioners or longer-term use. Both formats carry the manufacturer's labelling in English, Tamil and Sinhala.
Because this is a registered Ayurvedic medicinal formulation, the on-pack dosage guidance directs use according to a physician's recommendation rather than a fixed self-directed amount. Anyone new to this product would do well to consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before incorporating it into their routine.
