tamarind (Tamarindus indica) is astringent and anti-septic. Researchers have isolated xyloglucan from extracts of the plant’s seeds. Xyloglucan has demonstrated strong immuno-stimulating properties. It may have some anti-oxidant capabilities as well. other constituents of this plant include citric, tartaric, and malic acids; potassium bitartrate; polysaccharides; proteins; and lipids. Scientists recommend tamarind for protecting the skin against environmentally induced damage, stimulating skin repair, and for skin with low immune defenses.
