Orthosiphon stamineus
Orthosiphon stamineus
Orthosiphon stamineus, commonly known as misai kucing or Java mint, is a traditional plant used primarily in Southeast Asian medicine for urinary excretion and kidney protection. It has also been traditionally employed to help reduce blood pressure. Scientific evidence suggests that Orthosiphon stamineus ethanol extracts and rosmarinic acid may inhibit aldose reductase, which could potentially benefit oxidative stress-related conditions, though the findings are preliminary. Eupatorin from this plant shows potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, but its chemopreventive roles remain hypothetical. A study indicated that Nuvastatic™, a formulation containing Orthosiphon stamineus, significantly reduced fatigue and improved quality of life in cancer patients compared to placebo, though the results are still limited. The longan-misai kucing combination demonstrated synergistic anti-inflammatory and lipid-clearing effects in models of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (MAFLD). No major safety issues have been recorded for Orthosiphon stamineus, nor have any significant drug interactions been reported.
