Tragacanth Gum is a natural gum obtained from the dried sap of several species of Middle Eastern legumes. The sap drains from the root of the plant and dries into crystalline “tears.” When soaked in water, these crystals absorb a large amount of liquid and swell into a cool, soothing, jelly-like substance, which can then be added to drinks and desserts.

Gond Katira is prized in Ayurveda and traditional medicine for its incredible cooling properties (Sheeta Virya). It is the ultimate summer herb, used to prevent heatstroke and cool the body from within. It is a demulcent, soothing the digestive tract and providing relief from constipation. It is also considered a Balya herb, giving strength and stamina, and is often used to help with weakness and fatigue.
● For a Cooling Summer Drink: Soak a small piece of Gond Katira (the size of a pea) in a cup of water overnight. The next morning, it will have swelled into a soft jelly. Mix this jelly into milk, sherbet, or lemonade for a refreshing and body-cooling drink.
● For a Soothing Face Mask: The jelly can be mixed with other powders like SUPHERB® Sandalwood to create a hydrating and cooling face pack.
We source high-quality, clean Gond Katira, ensuring it is pure sap with no impurities.
The natural gum crystals are sorted for quality and offered in their pure, crystalline form or ground into a fine powder for easier mixing.
