Description

Oak galls are rich in tannins and are known for their ability to combat various viruses, while at the same time strengthening the tissues. They are one of the strongest natural astringent herbs available and also are antiseptic and constipative. Useful in leucorrhoea and other vaginal discharges and in profuse menstruation. Also useful in chronic diarrhoea, dysentery, bleeding haemorrhoids, haemorrhages, gleet, varicose veins and long standing gonorrhoea. They are also used as a gargle and mouthwash to treat sore throat, stomatitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis and tonsillitis. The blood-clotting agents active in Oak Bark are also helpful to cease nosebleeds.

Externally useful for blackening the hair.

Recommended Dosage: 3 to 5 g powder of dried galls.

Contraindication: Internal use of the galls may reduce or inhibit the absorption of alkaloids and other alkaline drugs.
