What is Adhatoda vasica or the Malabar nut?

Adhatoda Vasica is used primarily as an expectorant, and may be consumed in the form of juice, syrup or decoction. Its main benefit is that it helps to thin out thick sputum in bronchitis and makes it easier to cough up, thus promoting speedy relief. This action is attributed to its stimulation of the bronchial glands.
