Babool / Kikar Fali

Babool / Kikar Fali (कीकर फली) is the dried fruit pod of Vachellia nilotica, formerly widely called Acacia nilotica.

Ayurvedic / Traditional Context

Babool is a recognized traditional tree drug, but this pod SKU is not marketed with oral-health, diabetes, immunity, respiratory or skin-disease promises.
