Acacia nilotica

MEDICINAL PROPERTIES
cacia nilotica is a tree 5–20 m high with a dense spheric crown, stems and branches usually dark to black coloured, fissured bark, grey-pinkish slash, exuding a reddish low quality gum. The tree has thin, straight, light, grey spines in auxiliary pairs, usually in 3 to 12 pairs, 5 to 7.5 cm (3 in) long in young trees, mature trees commonly without thorns. The leaves are bipinnate, with 3–6 pairs of pinnulae and 10–30 pairs of leaflets each, tomentose, rachis with a gland at the bottom of the last pair of pinnulae. Flowers in globulous heads 1.2–1.5 cm in diameter of a bright golden-yellow colour set up either auxiliary or whorly on peduncles 2–3 cm long located at the end of the branches. Pods are strongly constricted, hairy, white-grey, thick and softly tomatoes.
The Bark and Gum of Acacia nilotica is used for asthma, bronchitis, earache, cholera, dysentery, leprosy, worms, leucorrhoe and hypoglycemic. Gum stops bleeding and used for urinary and vaginal discharges.
