In Indian culture, the significance of traditional remedies like Keezhanelli (Phyllanthus niruri) is deeply rooted. This unassuming herb, known by its Latin name, holds a treasure trove of medicinal wonders.
Indigenous to tropical regions, Keezhanelli has a rich history of supporting liver health, detoxification, and immune system strength. Respected for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it’s a staple in Ayurvedic and folk medicine.
Beyond liver care, Keezhanelli is renowned for its role in kidney health, digestion, and even skincare. With its versatile forms—teas, capsules, and powders—it’s a readily accessible herbal remedy.
At Solitude Farm, as we work in the fields harvesting or planting, we find this amazing plant or weed in abundance and harvest them and dry them. We make powders and sell them as a secondary income for the farm.
We are always careful to mention that we are not doctors, and plants such as keezhanelli must be consumed with caution; here and there, it is fine to have some leaves in a tea, etc., but actually to use it for a longer time can have adverse effects check with your local ayurvedic doctor first!!!
