Acacia catechu is also known as kattha (Urdu), khadir (Hindustani and Punjabi), khoyer(Bengali and Assamese), khair and babul (Hindi), kaath (Marathi), and kachu (Malay). It is indigenous in India, other Asian countries, and East Africa. Traditionally, A. catechu has been used as an antimicrobial, anti‐inflammatory and antifungal, coagulant, vermifuge, antidiarrheal, and astringent, and has also been employed to heal wounds, treat obesity and diabetes, and maintain oral hygiene, (Chauhan et al., 2011).
