Form: Raw Herb

The Marking Nut Tree, also known as Semecarpus anacardium, is a deciduous tree native to the Himalayas.

Its fruit is a 1-inch oblong black and smooth drupe situated on a fleshy cup.
The juice of the fruit can be used as a dye.
The fruit is compared to a cashew because it has two parts: the upper piece, which is sweet and edible when ripe, and the lower portion, which is a smooth, black nut.


The Marking Nut Tree also has greenish-yellow blossoms with oblong petals.
From May to September is the blossoming season.

Because of this illness, various regions of the body lose their normal colour and develop white patches.

Leucoderma, unlike other diseases, is not usually unpleasant, infectious, or hazardous.
However, in rare situations, the areas on the skin turn red and cause extreme itching.
Marking Nut is thought to be the greatest therapy or treatment in such cases.


It effectively relieves the irritation produced by red patches.
Medical doctors advise ingesting only one teaspoon twice a day.
