Babul Fali

Babul is also known as the “Healing tree” as all of its parts (bark, root, gum, leaves, pods, seeds) are used for various medicinal purposes.
According to Ayurveda, chewing small pieces of fresh Babul bark is good for managing oral health problems as it strengthens gums and teeth due to its astringent property.. Babul also helps in the management of diarrhea by decreasing intestinal motility due to its Keshya property. It also provides relief from cold and cough symptoms as well as sore throat by promoting the removal of sputum from the air passages and eases breathing. Consuming Babul gum powder along with water once a day helps in relieving joint pain due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.
Applying a paste of Babul leaf powder and coconut oil helps manage oral problems such as plaque formation and gingivitis due to its antibacterial property.
