Scientific Summary

Locust beans (Ceratonia siliqua) is the seed of the carob tree, harvested from its long podfruit. It is used as a natural antidiarrheal, anti‑inflammatory, and vermifuge, and its seed extracts are applied for rheumatism, colic, headache, and as a galactagogue. Because the seeds are very high in fiber, they can cause mild diarrhea or bloating if taken in large amounts; people with known allergies to legumes should use caution.
