Bansa

Bansa (also spelled Bansā) in the context of Ayurveda refers to the medicinal herb Malabar Nut, botanically known as Adhatoda vasica (also called Vasa, Vasaka, Arusa). It is a well‑known traditional herb used extensively for respiratory health, especially to help relieve cough, bronchitis, asthma, and congestion by acting as a natural expectorant and bronchodilator. The leaves, flowers, and roots are valued for their anti‑inflammatory, antimicrobial, and soothing effects on the respiratory tract and are also used in formulations for digestive support, bleeding disorders, and general immune wellness when taken under professional guidance.
