Adulsa

Scientific Name:

Justicia adhatoda

Adulsa (Justicia adhatoda), also known as Malabar nut, is widely recognized for its therapeutic properties, especially in treating respiratory ailments like cough and asthma. It supports local food webs by attracting pollinators and is often planted near homes for its air-purifying qualities and natural mosquito-repellent properties. This evergreen shrub thrives in well-drained soil, partial to full sunlight, and requires moderate watering. Its medicinal leaves make it a valuable addition to both gardens and herbal medicine practices.
