What is Masikai (Oak Gall)?

Masikai is a natural herbal formation that occurs when oak trees are affected by a unique gall wasp species. The tree’s defense reaction forms a hard, nut-like gall, rich in gallic acid, tannins, vitamin A, vitamin C, and antioxidants. These properties make it antiseptic, astringent, and healing, widely used in Ayurveda, Unani, and Siddha medicine.

At Naturoherbs, we source our Masikai from naturally grown trees, carefully dry and powder them without any chemicals or preservatives, preserving their potency and purity.
