Acacia Bark, also known as Wattle Bark, is obtained from the most prolific of the over 700 species of Australian Wattles, the Black Wattle. Acacias have had significant pharmacological, nutritive and toxicological associations with medicine since before recorded history, an interplay that continues to the present day. It is collected from wild or cultivated trees over six years old and must be allowed to mature for a year before being used medicinally. Acacia Bark is hard and woody, rusty brown and tends to divide into several layers. The outer surface of older pieces is covered with thick blackish periderm, rugged and fissured. The inner surface is red, longitudinally striated and fibrous. Acacia Bark contains from 24 to 42 % tannin and also gallic acid. Its powerful astringency causes it to be extensively employed in tanning. The bark, under the name of Babul, is used in Scinde for tanning, and also for dyeing various shades of brown. Medicinally it is employed as a substitute for Oak Bark. It has special use in diarrhea, mainly in the form of a decoction. The decoction also is used as an astringent gargle, lotion, or injection. In India a liquid extract is prepared from the bark and administered for its astringent properties in doses of 1/2 to 1 fluid, but the use of both gum and bark for industrial purposes is much larger than their use in medicine. In Ayurvedic medicine, Acacia is considered a remedy that is helpful for treating premature ejaculation. Acacia bark has also been used to treat dysentery.
