Himalaya Vasaka Tablets for 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.
Vasaka grows throughout India, up to an altitude of 1,300 meters.
Active constituents: Vasaka contains the
pyrroquinazoline alkaloids, including vasicine, vasicol and vasinone
along with other minor constituents. Vasicine and vasinone are the major
bioactive constituents of Vasaka which have bronchodilatory and
antitussive properties.
The alkaloids present in the plant show significant protection against allergen-induced bronchial obstruction.

anti-inflammatory, antitussive and bronchodilatory action which eases
