Tamarind contains ingredients that might have laxative effects and some activity against certain fungi and bacteria.
Researchers are studying tamarind as a possible treatment for dry eyes because it contains a chemical that is similar to mucin found in the eye. Mucin helps protect and wet the surface of the cornea.
