Malabar Nut (Vasaka)
Effective respiratory care
Vasaka
(Malabar Nut Tree/Adhatoda zeylanica) is well known in Ayurveda for its
beneficial effects in respiratory ailments, particularly as an
expectorant in bronchitis. The leaves, flowers, fruits and roots are
used extensively for treating cold, cough, whooping-cough, chronic
bronchitis and asthma.
Malabar Nut grows throughout India, up to an altitude of 1,300 meters.
Active constituents:
Malabar
Nut contains the pyrroquinazoline alkaloids, including vasicine,
vasicol and vasinone along with other minor constituents. Vasicine and
vasinone are the major bioactive constituents of Malabar Nut which have
bronchodilatory and antitussive properties.
The alkaloids present in the plant show significant protection against allergen-induced bronchial obstruction.
Herb Functions:
Respiratory
care: Malabar Nut exhibits anti-inflammatory, antitussive and
bronchodilatory action which eases congestion and coughing by helping

pulmonary infections.
