Traditional Vitality from Natural Edible Jelly Gum
Gond Katira, also known as Tragacanth Gum, is a powerful, plant-based resin used for centuries in Ayurveda as a natural body coolant. Unlike common Gond, which has warming properties, Gond Katira is the ultimate summer superfood. When soaked in water, these dry, crystalline flakes transform into a soft, translucent jelly. It works from the inside out to regulate your body temperature and keep you hydrated during the most scorching afternoons.
We source our Gond Katira from regions where it is organically grown, ensuring that the resin you receive is pure and potent.
