The adhatoda plant may also be known as the malabar nut, but the word "adhatoda," in Tamil, means "untouched by goats" because goats do not like the plant's bitter taste.

Many parts of this plant have been used to treat various health conditions, including asthma, bronchitis, and coughs and colds.
