Andrographis paniculata

Andrographis is found growing wild in India and Sri Lanka, and as a potent immune enhancing medicinal herb, it is commonly cultivated in all parts of the world.

It’s most common medicinal uses include:

• Common colds
• Immune boosting
• Influenza
• Snake and insect bites
• Digestive weakness

A member of the Acanthaceae family, Andrographis can grow up to 1 metre high and exhibits small white flowers with purple dots.

Respectfully known as the “King of Bitters”, Adrographis has an extremely bitter flavour, thus making it a desirable pre-digestive herb as well.
