About Andrographia Paniculata
Andrographis (Andrographia Paniculate) is a plant native to South Asian countries. It is commonly used in the traditional Indian medicine system, Ayurveda.
Andrographis leaf and stem might work by stimulating the immune system. It might also prevent flu viruses from binding to cells in the body. People commonly use andrographis for the common cold, osteoarthritis, infection of the throat and tonsils, and a type of bowel disease called ulcerative colitis.
