Andrographis paniculata: Herbal Cure for High Blood Pressure, Skin Disease, Digestive Problems, and Respiratory Disease...and More!

Andrographis paniculata, also known as Kalmegh, or Chuan Xin Lian in Chinese medicine, is an herbal cure for lung diseases and upper respiratory tract infections like influenza and COVID-19, but it does a lot of different things in the body. It is known as the King of Bitters. This plant works as an herbal remedy for COVID-19 by inhibiting proteases, but it is quite versatile in its ability to treat a wide range of illnesses. It's particularly useful as an herb that prevents heart attacks, but it also significantly improves digestive tract inflammation. Andrographis paniculata is viewed as a home remedy for diabetes as well because of its ability to control blood sugar. As such, it has an anti-diabetic action that's similar to blood sugar lowering herb Kudzu, which is also extremely useful as a tool for alcohol addiction. Andrographis paniculata, like Kudzu, has been studied by scientists and it does indeed seem to help alcoholics prevent relapse by regulating blood sugar levels.   

In addition to functioning as a herbal cure for diabetes and alcohol addiction, Andrographis paniculata also has been studied scientifically as an herb that treats sexual dysfunction. It works by increasing testosterone levels and by promoting the body's responsiveness to norepinephrine. In animal models, scientists were able to use andrographolides from Andrographis paniculata to promote normal sexual functioning. As an herbal remedy for high blood pressure, Andrographis paniculata has a strong effect on blood vessels and circulatory system, which is relevant in regard to Erectile Dysfunction. Because it has effects on the digestive system, Andrographis paniculata may also work, in part, by relieving pressure on the sexual organs and the nerves feeding the sexual organs by reducing inflammation and infection in the intestines. Inflammation in the intestines can, after all, cause pressure in the pelvic bowl as well as throughout the body, which can then, have an impact on blood circulation. Anyone with sexual dysfunction who also has digestive inflammation regularly may wish to consider the role that intestinal inflammation and infection plays in sexual functioning.

Andrographis paniculata has been used in Ayurveda, the Siddha system, and in Chinese medicine as an herbal remedy for the common cold, but scientists have shown that this plant can also be used to treat influenza and COVID-19. It has anti-cancer effects. Because scientists have shown that cancer, leprosy, tuberculosis, and scleroderma are all caused by a mycobacterium that has a similar shape and behavior, we always recommend to our readers to consider the possibility that these diseases all have a common cause and therefore may all have a common cure. Andrographis paniculata is a potential cure for scleroderma, tuberculosis, and leprosy, but anyone who has received one of these diagnoses should also consider reading our Cancer Cure Catalog series to better understand these diseases. The first volume of the Cancer Cure series is free, but there are 3 additional volumes in this series that explain several different alternative models of these diseases.

Andrographis paniculata is an herbal cure for bronchitis, dysentery, and diarrhea but it also has a wide range of curative properties that have been used to treat the following diseases and disorders:

Note that this herb works with the digestive system, but also with the blood and the blood vessels in addition to its medicinal effects on the lungs and respiratory system. It’s digestive and circulatory system effects have a positive impact on blood sugar levels which might make this plant medicine particularly appropriate for those with diabetes who also suffer from chronic or acute respiratory diseases.

Though this powerful, broad-spectrum herb is able to treat a wide variety of illnesses, it is not particularly toxic, though some side effects can occur with treatment. 

The standard dose for treating the common cold is 2000-6000 mg of Andrographis paniculata, but in practice, the dose can go as high as 20,000 mg per day for certain diseases.

Andrographis paniculata has not been studied in pregnant or lactating women to establish whether or not it is safe for use in this population.
