Paruthi Kottai refers to the seeds of the Cotton plant, botanically known as Gossypium spp.. These seeds are obtained from mature cotton bolls and are oval to round, hard seeds with a soft fiber (lint) still attached in some cases.
In traditional Siddha and folk medicine, Paruthi Kottai is valued for its digestive, cooling, and skin-related properties. It is used in powdered form, decoctions, and oil extraction, and also serves as a nutritional and industrial seed.
