Tannins

Astringent effect

Vegetable tannins are found in leaves, fruits, barks or roots. They are also called vegetable tannins or tannins. Tannins occupy an important place among the therapeutically effective constituents of medicinal plants. Tannins can act on tissues such as mucous membranes, compacting them superficially and forming a protective membrane. They have an astringent and drying effect, so that the penetration of bacteria and fungi into the tissue is made more difficult. Wound secretion can also be reduced, inflammation inhibited and capillary bleeding stopped
