Those of us who are addicted to Indian powders and oils from our local Indian stores may want to stock up. I was reading an Ayurevedic thread and a poster speculated that the price of Indian products might increase. I found that it has in my local store. I buy all my products from the store. I do not shop online for those products. Interestingly enough, the same Hesh Shikakai powder that I bought for $1.99 a month ago is now $2.99 a 50% price increase. Amla is now $1.99 rather than $1.49. Vatika Oil and Amla oil also increased in price. I asked the proprietor about the price increase and he hedged. This is pure speculation on my part, but I believe that the prices will increase because I don't think that many Indian women in the United States keep up the old ways. I think they use American products especially the young ones. What do you think? Have any of you noticed price increases?
