Silk Cotton Tree Gum / Mochras Gum

Natural Resin from Bombax Ceiba for Traditional & Herbal Applications

What is Mochras Gum?

Mochras Gum, also known as Silk Cotton Tree Gum or Elavin Pasha, is a pure, natural resin harvested from the Silk Cotton Tree (Bombax ceiba), a majestic deciduous tree native to India and many parts of Asia. This tree is recognized by several regional names, including Kapok Tree and Red Cotton Tree. The gum is collected by carefully tapping the tree’s bark, allowing the sap to ooze and harden into amber-like crystals.
