Extract Description

Acacia is a useful remedy for arresting excessive mucous discharges and checking hemorrhages. It may be used as a douche for leucorrhoea or as a mouthwash or gargle for pharyngitis, laryngitis, gingivitis and stomatitis. Acacia has very high tannin content and is therefore an excellent astringent for overcoming relaxation of the mucous membranes in general. Externally, it can be applied in the form of a powder to boils, ulcers and cutaneous eruptions as well as to spongy gums.
