Oak gall called masikai in Tamil and manjakani in Malaysia is a very popular herb. Especially in Tamil Nadu, you will find oak galls in all the homes that have new born babies. It is called “Mazhupal” in Hindi. It’s botanical name is quercus infectoria. It cures all the infections in the mouth and I can confidently say oak gall is the best for treating any infection in the mouth.
In Malaysia, manjakani is especially known for it’s use in tightening vaginal muscles. Usually women face this problem after child birth, especially women who have given normal birth. A simple homemade wash made with manjakani will tighten the vaginal muscles, especially if used along with kegel exercise. Manjakani has astringent properties which makes it so very effective in home remedies.
The way manjakani is formed is very interesting. Manjakani is produced when the leaves of the oak tree are attacked by a certain kind of insect. This causes the leaves to produce round hard balls around the insects, that have small protrusions on the sides called oat gall manjakani. The insects leave after 5 to 6 months from the nuts. Oat galls are dried and sold all over the world.
Manjakani are excellent for treating ulcers inside the mouth. Manjakani has high astringent properties and it is this quality that heals mouth ulcers very quickly. Some people have small ulcers that are white in color on both sides of their mouth. This oak gall paste is a good remedy for that.
This paste can be safely used for small children too. When you apply this paste, it has a slightly bitter and astringent taste. Try applying this paste for few days continuously, to get relief. To make this paste, soak oak gall in water for some time.
This will make it easier to rub into a paste. Rub the oak gall on a sandalwood stone along with little water till you get a thick paste. Apply this paste on the affected area. You will be surprised, how quickly mouth ulcers heal with this remedy.
Manjakani is rich with a substance called Tannin. For the sexual organ, Tannin is a substance that is believed to tighten the membrane and the vaginal wall. In the medical world, the resulting effect is named as the Astringent effect.
The Tannins are obtained when the Manjakani leaves are exposed to reactions from the breeding of the wasp larvae lying on the leaves. Then it triggers a chemical reaction due to the eggs attached to the leaves, allowing the leaves to inhibit the growth of fungi, bacteria and viruses.
The effects of Manjakani leaves have actually been tested and published in a Pharmacology journal. The Pharmacological journal recorded that Manjakani extract contains nutrients and compounds such as vitamins A & C, Carbohydrates, Iron, Calcium, Antioxidants, Piperonylic, Gallic acid, Ellagic acid, proteinsand fibers that have anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-microbial, and Astringent.
According to an expert named Prof. Dr. Hembing Wijayakusuma, in addition to overcoming Leucorrhoea, reduced fluids, and improve the elasticity of female organs, Manjakani can also overcome dry Miss V. However, for its use, it is not just enough to consume it. It takes several ways and mixture with certain suitable herbs for the purpose of the treatment.
