What is  Gular Bark(Ficus racemosa):

Gular (Ficus racemosa , syn. Ficus glomerata Roxb.) is a beautiful tree with a crooked trunk and spreading crown. It's different from the banyan in that it doesn't have aerial roots, but it has its own unique features. The most distinctive aspect of this tree is the red, furry figs in short clusters that grow directly out of the trunk of the tree. You might wonder how these flowers enclosed in a ball are pollinated—and here's where it gets interestine.

The flowers are pollinated by very small wasps that crawl through the opening in search of a suitable place to reproduce (lay eggs). Without this pollinator service, fig trees can't reproduce by seed. In turn, these flowers provide a safe haven and nourishment for the next generation of wasps. Gular is commonly found in cities and towns, but it grows near bodies of water if it's close enough to access that water source!

Uses:

Did you know that gular tree bark is a great cure for mouth infections? It's true! Gular tree bark contains a natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent and is an effective way to treat mouth ulcers, oral thrush, and other oral infections.
 

All you need is 10 grams of bark (or leaves) and some water. Simply boil the bark in 400 milliliters of water for a few minutes, then add alum (a pinch) and filter the water before using it to rinse your mouth often. If you don't have alum on hand, use baking soda instead.
 

The swelling will go away within a week or two if you follow this routine regularly—but if the swelling doesn't go away after a couple weeks, see your doctor about treating it with prescription medicine.
 

If boils have been bothering you for months or years and nothing seems to help them heal, try this treatment: take gular bark paste and apply it at the affected area three times a day for one week straight.
