Camel thorn is a spiny, deep-rooted legume shrub that thrives in deserts and saline plains, from the Middle East to north-western India. It has small simple leaves, sharp thorns and small pink-red flowers, and in hot weather it exudes a sweet manna.
In Ayurveda the plant is known as Yavasa and appears in classical texts as one of the bitter, cooling herbs. The whole plant has traditionally been used in preparations for general wellness and in formulations alongside related herbs.
