flowers, juice and bark.  Tamarind is sour, acidic,

inpurities in the blood. Tamarind can also bring the

bark to 10 gms of any sweet oil and apply. After wound 
is healed apply olive oil for a week to cure the scar 
left by burn.  To permenantly cure colicy pain, burn 
the bark with rock salt in a earthern jar until it has 
been burned to a white ash.  Transfer this ash to a 
small bottle and take 2 gms of this ash once in the 
morning and again in the evening.
Tamarind leaves are good for sprains and swelling.  If

apply to sprained area and bandage, (the same medicine 
can be applied for swelling ).  Tamarind seeds are a 
good cure for scorpion bite; boil dry seed until skin 
can be easily removed, chop seed into half, apply to bite, 
the poision will glue the seed to the bite, which will 
start sucking out the poison, after the seed has fully 
sucked the poison it will pop off .
