Oak Gall are called “Masikai” in Tamil. This is another common ingredient that we use extensively for our home remedies. Actually these oak galls are formed by insects. One can easily identify oak gall by it’s round shape and the small structures protruding around the nut.
We get these nuts dried and it can be stored for years. Oak galls are excellent for treating ulcers inside the mouth. Masikai has high astringent properties and it is this quality that heals mouth ulcers very quickly. Some people have small ulcers that are white in color on both sides of their mouth.
