More About Our Gums Range

The Baldwins selection of natural gums encapsulates the essence of natural crafting and holistic health practices. These resins and powders have been revered throughout history for their uses in traditional medicine, incense making, and as natural thickeners and emulsifiers.

Our collection includes Acacia Gum, known for its rich, fibrous texture and prebiotic benefits, and Mastic Gum, sought after for its digestive health properties and unique culinary applications. Each gum in our range is sustainably sourced, ensuring that you are receiving a product that supports both wellness and the environment.

Before using gums for health purposes, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional, particularly if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing health conditions. Keep these products out of reach of children and use them in line with traditional practices for their intended benefits.

FAQs

What are natural gums, and what are their uses?

Natural gums are plant-based extracts known for their stabilising and thickening properties. They play a crucial role in making incense, culinary recipes, natural remedies, and personal care products due to their versatile and binding nature.
How can natural gums benefit my health?

Natural gums are valued for their health-promoting properties, which include:

  • Aiding digestion and enhancing gut health
  • Serving as prebiotics for a balanced gut microbiome
  • Providing skin with antiseptic care
  • Enhancing the aromatic quality of homemade incense and salves
How do I use gums in various applications?

Gums can be utilised in several ways depending on their type and your needs:

  • As thickeners in cooking, they can be dissolved in water and added to sauces or desserts.
  • For health remedies, such as salves, gums can be mixed with other ingredients to create a paste or emulsion.
  • In incense making, gums are often used as a binding agent to hold together the aromatic materials.
