Oak Gall (manjakani in the Malay language)
is not a type of fruit or from any part of a tree. It is actually
round-shaped abnormal growth found only on a few species of
trees in the world. Oak Gall is the result of natural chemical
reaction between the tree's bark and secretion from various
insects that use parts of the tree to lay its eggs.
The metamorphosis process that takes
place on the hatched insect's eggs produce enzymes that stimulates
food supply on the leaves' cells, and a hard round "ball"
is formed. It is neither part of the insect nor tree. This
"ball" is known as Oak Gall.
Oak Gall is known as a natural astringent
that contains antiseptic materials and anti- oxidants: a truly
generous gift from Mother Nature to women. Studies have shown
that manjakani is rich in tannins, vitamin A and C, calcium,
gallic acid, fiber, protein and carbohydrates. Oaks galls
possess a unique kind of astrigency which acts to restore
health, tone and vigor in the vagina. Well-known since ancient
times, Arabs, Persians, Indians, Chinese and Malays have traditionally

and is excellent for stimulating the "Bartholon"
glands to release estrogen and restore a woman's natural lubrication.

estrogen-like biologiocal effects. Regular use of Pueraria
mirifica may restore vaginal tissue growth, strength and elasticity.
Gift to Women
As women age, the vaginal lining thins, causing irritation,
painful intercourse, increased risk of yeast and bacterial
infections. "Manjakani" (oak gall) has been proven
to help restore the health of the mucosal tissue, reducing
these problems. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, manjakani
also aids in healing external tissue damage after childbirth.
It can be used externally to reduce swelling and bruises caused
by minor injuries in the vaginal area. Clinical trials have
demonstrated that it also enhances sexual responsiveness and
Research has also shown that Manjakani extract has natural
antiseptic properties that are effective in eliminating bacterial,
yeast and fungal infection, the main causes of itching and
unpleasant odors in the intimate area. Its astringent properties
assist in reducing excessive discharge.
Frequent bacterial or fungal infections
and the use of harsh soaps can cause discoloration (darkening)
of the delicate skin in the intimate area. Manjakani helps
to maintain the natural color of this area. It also contains
unique antioxidant properties that are effective in reducing
melanin formation and preventing discoloration.
