Cat's whiskers - Koemis Koetjing - 300 mg

Cat's whisker (Orthosiphon aristatus), also known as Kumis Kutjing, has played an important role in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries due to its beneficial properties in treating urinary tract infections.

This plant belongs to the Lamiaceae family and thrives mainly in tropical and subtropical regions, preferring locations such as wetlands, along rivers and swamps, especially in Southeast Asia, especially Malaysia and Java. The name "cat's whisker" is derived from the white or lilac flowers with striking, thread-like stamens, sometimes up to 3 cm long.

The leaves of the orthosiphon contain caffeic acid derivatives such as rosmarinic acid and lithospermic acid, as well as flavonoids (such as eupatorin and salvigenin), tannins (about 5 to 6%) and potassium salts, which are used in phytotherapy.

Orthosiphon is often used as a diuretic for fluid retention, edema, kidney failure and cystitis. Studies have shown that orthosiphon has an anti-adhesive effect on the bladder against uropathogenic E. coli bacteria, which contributes to the prevention of urinary tract infections caused by E. coli.

In addition, orthosiphon has nephroprotective properties and is known for its hepatobiliary effect because it stimulates bile secretion by the liver (choleretic effect) and facilitates bile drainage to the gallbladder (cholalitic effect).

Traditionally, orthosiphon is used in urological conditions because of its stimulating effect on urinary drainage and renal excretion of water. It also contributes to weight loss as part of a diet and supports liver function while maintaining normal blood sugar levels.
