What it is
A paste, an electuary, a centuries-old preparation
Majun — also spelled majoon — is a semi-solid preparation used in the Unani and Ayurvedic systems of medicine. Powdered herbs or minerals are combined with honey, sugar syrup or jaggery and kneaded into a soft confection.
Rather than taking raw powders, which can be bitter and hard to swallow, the sweet base makes the formulation easier and more pleasant to consume.
A sweet binder
Honey, sugar syrup or jaggery holds everything together.
Kneaded to a paste
Worked until smooth, soft and ready to take by the spoon.
Origins & etymology
From the Arabic ma'jun
The word comes from the Arabic ma'jun, meaning “kneaded” or “paste”, derived from jama — “to combine”.
It is widely used in the Unani system as a convenient and palatable way to take bitter or potent herbal formulations.
