KAMALA

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 645 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KAMALA , a red powder formerly used in
medicine
  as an ant helmintic and employed in
India
  as a yellow dye. It is obtained from Mallotus philippinensis,
Mull
 ., a small euphorbiaceous tree from 20 to 45 ft. in height, distributed from southern Arabia in the west to north Australia and the Philippines in the
east
 . In
India
  kamala has several ancient Sanskrit names, one of which, kapila, signifies dusky or tawny red. Under the name of wars, kanbil, or qinbil, kamala appears to have been known to the Arabian physicians as a remedy for tapeworm and skin diseases as early as the loth
century
 , and indeed is mentioned by
Paulus
  IEgineta still earlier. The
drug
  was formerly in the British
Pharmacopoeia
 , but is inferior to many other anthelmintics and is not now employed.
