158: ANDROGRAPHIS -- Packing a Powerful Punch for Immune Health

That Naturopathic Podcast

If a patient presents with ‘heat’ or inflammatory symptoms, as well as a suspected infectious origin or contributor to the present condition, we must think of this herb
Andrographis paniculata, also known as "King of Bitters," has a rich history in traditional medicine that has been corroborated by more recent scientific investigations into its unequivocal application as an immune-invigorating herb that is most reliably applied to the treatment of ‘heat-related (i.e. inflammation and oxidative stress) respiratory tract infections. It has been studied extensively as a treatment or adjuvant treatment for COVID-19.
It is our opinion that this herb is likely more suited to punctuated or pulsed treatment regimens, rather than long-term use.
