Murraya koenigii

Murraya koenigii is a plant species utilized within various traditional medicinal systems. It is traditionally employed as an anodyne, carminative, and stomachic, with applications for treating bruises, eruptions, diarrhea, dysentery, nausea, and kidney complaints. Scientific evidence suggests potential anti-infective activity through the reduction of bacterial virulence factors in Gram-negative pathogens. Some studies indicate possible anticancer potential in specific environments, and research on herbal feed supplements shows promise for enhancing antioxidant indices and immune function in livestock. No major safety issues or notable drug interactions have been recorded.
