Acacia Babool Flower

Babool (Acacia nilotica) flowers are small, yellow, globular heads with a mild fragrance. The tree is thorny and widely found in arid regions. The bark, gum, and pods are extensively used in dentistry - the bark powder or twig is used as a natural toothbrush. The gum (Gum Arabic) is an important commercial product. The flowers and bark are astringent, useful in diarrhea and dental problems. Dose: 5-10 ratti bark powder for teeth.
