The plant Andrographis is native to South Asian nations like India and Sri Lanka. Medicine is made from underground stems and leaves.
Andrographis is frequently used to treat and prevent influenza (colds and flu). Despite the fact that this claim is unproven, some individuals assert that Andrographis halted the Indian flu epidemic of 1919.
Andrographis is also used to treat a wide range of other problems.
It is used to treat digestive issues like diarrhea, constipation, gas in the intestines, colic, and pain in the stomach; for conditions that affect the liver, such as jaundice, an enlarged liver, and medication-related liver damage; for diseases such as HIV/AIDS, leprosy, pneumonia, tuberculosis, gonorrhea, malaria, cholera, leptospirosis, rabies, and sinusitis; and for skin conditions like itchiness, wounds, and ulcers.
For sore throats, coughs, swollen tonsils, bronchitis, and allergies, some people use Andrographis. Additionally, it is used to prevent heart disease and diabetes as well as "hardening of the arteries" (atherosclerosis).
In addition, it is used to treat pyelonephritis (a kidney condition), hemorrhoids, and an inherited condition known as familial Mediterranean fever.
Additionally, Andrographis is used as an astringent, bactericide, pain reliever, fever reducer, and worm treatment. Andrographolide, an additional amount of an active ingredient, can be found in some products sold on the internet under the brand name Andrographis.
A portion of these items is practically 30% andrographolide. However, take caution; It is unknown whether Andrographis preparations with a high andrographolide content are safe and effective.
