Commonly known as Andrographis or King of bitters in english. In Ayurveda it is called Kalmegh or Kalamegha. Most vernacular names of Andrographis come from its strong bitter taste. Meaning of Nila-Vembu is â??Neem of the groundâ?? as the plant has strong bitter taste as that of the Neem tree, defying its small size. Nilavembu helps to manage blood sugar levels and is useful for people suffering from diabetes. It also helps fight cancer and detoxifies the liver. Its rich source of antimicrobial and antiviral properties help manage all kinds of fever including dengue, typhoid, influenza, malaria and chikungunya. You can drink 30 ml of Nilavembu Kudineer twice daily before consuming food. If you are suffering from muscle pain, joint pain or swelling and fatigue even after a few weeks after Chikungunya, try consuming Nilavembu Kudineer along with Amukkara Choornam or Ashwagandha Choornam and Maha Yograj Guggul.
