Vernacular Names & Parts Used

Moringa Gum, botanically identified as Moringa Oleifera, is traditionally known as Sahijan Gond, Moringa Gond, and Drumstick Tree Gum in Ayurvedic and regional practices. It is a natural exudate gum obtained from the bark of mature Moringa trees, collected carefully and sun-dried to retain its natural texture and purity.

Ayurvedic Properties & Common Uses

In classical Ayurveda, Moringa Gum is described with Madhura (sweet) and Kashaya (astringent) rasa, Sheeta virya, and Guru–Snigdha guna, traditionally associated with balancing Vata and Pitta doshas. Ayurvedic literature references tree gums like Moringa Gum in binding, nourishing, and formulation-supportive applications, particularly within compound preparations.

Traditionally, Moringa Gum is processed by soaking, purification, and controlled drying, then incorporated into Churna, Avaleha, and compound herbal formulations. Classical texts emphasize proper processing, measured dosage, and professional supervision, aligning its use with long-standing traditional knowledge systems.
