What is Andrographis paniculata?
Andrographis paniculata is one of the 2,500 species of plants belonging to the Acanthaceae family , many of which come from India and South Asia. While this plant is known under various common names, the nomination of the "King of Hořek's" stands out because it bears a testimony of a highly pungent taste that lends all parts of the plant.

For others, this plant represents a number of therapeutic applications much wider than most of the individual herbal means. In fact, andrographis paniculata plays a role in several traditional treatment systems, including Indian, Indian, Thailand and China. Between mere sampling of pharmacological properties ROSTLINY include analgesic, cardioprotective, expectorant, anti -inflammatory, hepatoprotective and immunomodulatory effects.
The primary active component andrographis paniculata is andrographolide, which is responsible for its bitter taste. Other identified compounds include didehydroanroanRographolide, andrographies and stigmasterol. In summary, these chemicals are referred to as diterpen lactons or simply as andrographer. For decades, scientists have been fascinated by how these compounds have been influenced by cellular transduction pathways of the cellular signal, the communication system used by the body to supply chemical messages to receptor sites to induce biological activity, such as insulin production. They found that Andrographolides thwarted attempts at free radicals, or attacking virynar, normal cell cycles, events that could otherwise lead to the development of cancer and othersOcination.
As regards the support of an increased immune function, it seems that andrographis paniculata triggers both antigen-specific and non-specific immune responses to foreign microbes. This means that the body is stimulated to produce contraactive antibodies and also increases the production of macrophages to target and destroy attacking microbes. It also means that this herbal drug can be effective against various infectious diseases.
The herb also shows cytotoxic properties, which means it kills cancer cells. In fact, studies have shown that plant extracts effectively inhibit cell proliferation in stomach, skin and breast cancer. There is also sufficient evidence that suggests that andrographis paniculata may have the future potential in combating the human immuno virus (HIV) and the acquired immune deficiency synda (AIDS).
The side effects are rare, although some people reported dizziness and increased heart rate. However, long -term use has been foundThis herb can disrupt fertility in both men and women. The herb is also a well -known abortion, which means that it can cause abortion in pregnant women.
