Gond Katira is a natural gum made from the dried sap of many Middle Eastern legume species belonging to the Astragalus genus. Shiraz gum, shiraz, gum elect, and gum dragon are all names for the gum. It's a tree gum, just like any other kind of myrrh, but it's less popular in products than guar gum or gum in Arabic. Gond Katira is an odourless, tasteless, water-soluble polysaccharide combination made from sap extracted and dried from the plant's root. The gum comes out of the plant in twisted ribbons or powdered flakes. It absorbs water and turns into a gel that can be mixed into a paste. 


Here are some of the benefits of Gond Katira

Treats Heatstrokes

Heat stroke is caused by your body overheating, which is usually caused by extended exposure to high temperatures. Gond Katira serves as a cooling agent that lowers the body's temperature. Drinking cool chillers and drinks containing Gond Katira can help to keep your body hydrated.

Aids Digestion

The laxative properties of Gond Katira aid in the stimulation of intestinal motility. The enzymes in this gum aid digestion and keep bowel movements regular. This aids in the alleviation of both constipation and diarrhoea.

Boosts Immunity

Gond Katira boosts our immune system's ability to fight infections and other outside infections. Cough, cold, and flu are all things that Gond Katira can aid with. It also aids in the rehabilitation and regeneration of cells.
