Cassia Tora Powder – From Its Processing to Application

This plant is a powerful gelling agent, and when powdered properly, it has many benefits for skin disorders. However, its proper use should be performed under the guidance of a qualified practitioner to avoid any side effects.
How to obtain Cassia Tora Powder?
The seeds of Cassia tora are made up of an outer husk, an endosperm, and a germ. The husk is removed during the de-husking or splitting process, while the germ is separated, during the purifying phase. After these steps, the seed is roasted to make the husk brittle. In this process, the split remains intact, separating the husk from the germ and the split from the husk.
