Gum arabic

Natural Gum Arabic

Gum Arabic is one of the most ancient natural materials known to mankind — a transparent natural resin that flows from the trunk of the indigenous African Acacia senegal tree, solidifying in the air to form translucent, golden granules or lumps with a distinctive luster. Ancient Egyptians used it over 4000 years ago for mummification, making dyes and inks, and treating illnesses. It was traded as a precious commodity along ancient trade routes. It is characterized by its complete solubility in water, forming a gentle gelatinous solution that coats the digestive tract and throat lining with a unique, soothing protective layer. It contains Arabinogalactan and hydroxyproline-rich proteins that give it its exceptional therapeutic and cosmetic properties.

At Al Mawaddah Store, we offer you pure natural Gum Arabic of the highest purity and quality, retaining all its active compounds and authentic therapeutic properties.
