bixa BOTANICAL Ayurvedic Natural Herbal Supplement Galnuts Powder Pure Authentic Premium Quality (Majuphal/Quercus infectoria) 7 Oz (200g) Supplement Support Anti-oxidant herb for Men and Women Natural Dietary

Majuphal, also known as Oak gall, consists of dried galls found on the Quercus infectoria tree, a member of the Fagaceae family. This small tree or shrub, typically reaching a height of 2 to 5 meters, is native to regions such as Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, Persia, and Iran. The galls, often referred to as Oak galls, form as excrescences on the twigs of the tree due to the puncture and egg deposit of an insect, Cynips gallae tinctoria, on the rudimentary leaves and buds of various oak species. These Oak galls, primarily imported into India, are known in Ayurveda for their astringent and cooling properties, particularly for balancing the pitta and kapha doshas. Oak galls from Quercus infectoria are rich in tannins, containing approximately 50-70%, along with small quantities of gallic and ellagic acid, which are integral to the hydrolyzable tannins in the plant. These tannins, essential for astringent and medicinal properties, are valued in dermatology and have a history of use in leather tanning. Hydrolyzable tannins, especially those from gallic and ellagic acids, are found in high concentrations in these Oak galls, contributing to the unique properties of the plant, such as its support for skin health and a general antioxidant response.
