Our Founder
Wisdom Passed
Through Generations
“My grandmother taught me that every plant has a purpose. I just listened.”
Growing up in Kokrajhar, Dhananjay spent his childhood foraging forest herbs with his grandmother — learning which roots heal, which leaves strengthen, which oils nurture. In 2022, he turned that inherited knowledge into Somaina.
Today, each Somaina product is still made by hand in small batches, using only wild-harvested ingredients from the same forests she grew up in. No shortcuts. No synthetics. Just tradition.
