In 2024, kabaddi teams across India are embracing innovative local products to enhance performance and sustainability. One notable example is the use of traditional herbal oils, made from indigenous plants like neem and turmeric, which players apply for muscle recovery and injury prevention. These oils are sourced directly from rural communities, supporting local economies and preserving ancient Ayurvedic practices.
Additionally, teams are adopting handcrafted jute equipment, such as mats and training gear, produced by artisans in states like West Bengal. Jute, a natural fiber, offers eco-friendly durability and is biodegradable, aligning with modern environmental goals. This shift not only boosts the quality of kabaddi gear but also promotes India\“s rich cultural heritage and small-scale industries. |
