Overview
Mulberry is one of the herbs traditionally used in Ayurveda for ulcers. Tut (Mulberry/Shahtoot) is a moderate-sized tree cultivated for silk production (the leaves feed silkworms). The fruit is sweet-sour, dark red to black when ripe. It is cooling and blood-building. The fruit stains the mouth and fingers. The leaves are the primary food source for the silkworm (Bombyx mori). The bark and root have astringent properties. The fruit juice is used in sore throat and mouth ulcers. Dose: Fruit as food. Verse: 38.
