MALABAR NUT / Adhatoda vasica

An Indian plant, but long cultivated in the tropics, and much used as a cough reliever and dilator of the bronchial tubes. A synthetic derivative of the active principles was put on the market under the name of bromhexine (Thomson. 1976). The plant is said, too, to be insecticidal, and that it has antiseptic properties (L M Perry).
