DESCRIPTION

Plant Profile
Vasaka (Justicia adhatoda): The Botanical "Protector of the Lungs." It is a hardy, multi-branched evergreen shrub. It belongs to the Acanthaceae family. It typically grows to a height of one to two meters. It is easily recognized by its expansive, lance-shaped leaves. It also bears dense spikes of distinctive white, bi-lipped flowers. Indigenous to the tropical and subtropical regions of South and Southeast Asia. The plant grows all over the plains and the lower Himalayan foothills in India. The plant has long been integrated into local ecosystems and traditional knowledge.

Healthcare Perspective
In Ayurveda, Vasaka is primarily recognized for its historical association with respiratory vitality. According to these traditions, Vasaka helps to balance excess Kapha (associated with dampness). The plant is also associated with balancing Pitta (associated with heat). In practice, it often targets "heavy" energy in the chest or internal "heat." This heat may cause irritation in the respiratory passages. Traditionally, the leaves are prepared as concentrated decoctions (Kwath). They also include fermented tonics (Arishta). These preparations are believed to support the natural thinning of mucus. They also help to promote comfortable breathing.

Phytochemical Composition
The phytochemical profile of Vasaka is distinctive. It is defined by a unique group of quinazoline alkaloids. These compounds serve as the plant's primary bioactive markers. The most prominent alkaloid is vasicine. This compound has been extensively studied. Research focuses on its functional relationship with the respiratory system. Alongside vasicine, the plant contains related alkaloids such as vasicinone, vasicinol, and adathodine. They are traditionally associated with supporting the natural clearing of bronchial pathways. Complementing this alkaloid content is a matrix of phytosterols. It also provides polyphenols and flavonoids. These compounds contribute antioxidant properties and support overall stability.

Precautions
Do not use if you have abdominal pain or diarrhea. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking any medications. Discontinue use if diarrhea or loose stools occur. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Not intended for long-term use.
