Paanova

Scientific Name:
Coleus amboinicus 

Paanova is valued for its medicinal properties, especially in treating respiratory issues such as asthma, bronchitis, and coughs, as well as digestive problems. The plant’s leaves and roots are often used in traditional remedies for their anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and antispasmodic effects. Paanova thrives in warm, tropical climates and produces small, purple flowers that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Its presence in gardens not only enhances biodiversity but also provides significant ecological and health benefits.
