Vasaka (Justicia adhatoda), commonly known as Malabar Nut, is a well-known medicinal plant widely used in Ayurvedic, Unani, and Siddha systems of medicine, primarily for its bronchodilator, expectorant, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is particularly renowned for treating respiratory disorders, including asthma, bronchitis, cough, and tuberculosis. Vasaka is indigenous to Southeast Asia and a member of the Acanthaceae family.
Vasaka contains a rich array of alkaloids, flavonoids, and essential oils that contribute to its medicinal effects:
