The plant Acacia arabica, also called babul, is native to Egypt and is found across the tropical and subtropical plains of India, Sri Lanka, and Sudan. It is a member of the Fabaceae family. Nearly every component of it—root, bark, leaves, flowers, gum, pods, etc.—is utilized in medicine. Furthermore, reports of polyphenolic substances in bark and pods have also been recorded. A. arabica is used in traditional medicine to treat bleeding disorders, prolapse, leucorrhea, and other conditions. Experimental research on the plant revealed antihypertensive, antispasmodic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties.
