Sal Ammoniac / Thikri Noshadar (ٹھکری نوشادر) is a naturally occurring mineral composed of ammonium chloride (Ammonium Chloride). It forms around volcanic fumaroles and coal deposits through a natural process called sublimation, where mineral crystals develop directly from gaseous vapors without passing through a liquid stage. In traditional Unani and Ayurvedic practices, purified Sal Ammoniac has been used in carefully measured amounts as an ingredient in various herbal formulations. Today, it is also widely used in pharmaceutical and industrial applications.
