Andrographis (Andrographis paniculatta) has been traditionally used as a bitter tonic. Native to India and Sri Lanka, some cultures call the herb Mahatita, which literally translates to "King of Bitters."
• Researchers from the Biotechnology Department of the Indian
Institute of Technology, West Bengal, India, say Andrographis supports
normal immune function through the work of its active components called andrographolides
and arabinogalactan proteins. They said the herb showed "significant activity."

• In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, scientists at Erebuni Medical
Centre, Yerevan, Armenia found Andrographis to be highly supportive of normal
respiratory function. Phytomedicine. 2002 Oct;9(7):589-97.
• Andrographis is considered one of the most bitter plants used in traditional
healthcare. In fact, the plant is so bitter, in Malaysia, it is often called
"Hempedu Bumi," meaning "Bile of the Earth."
