What is Kuppaimeni (Indian Nettle)?

Kuppaimeni, scientifically known as Acalypha indica, is a powerful medicinal herb that has been revered in Ayurveda and Siddha medicine for centuries. Native to the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia, it thrives in rural and urban landscapes, often considered a wonder herb for its extensive healing properties.

All parts of this plant—leaves, stems, and roots—are used in traditional remedies. At Naturoherbs, we offer 100% natural, sun-dried Kuppaimeni leaves, carefully processed to preserve their therapeutic value and potency.

Key Nutritional Compounds

Kuppaimeni is rich in:

• Alkaloids – Natural bioactive compounds with antimicrobial action

• Flavonoids & Phenolic Compounds – Powerful antioxidants that reduce inflammation

• Saponins & Steroids – Known for detoxifying and cleansing properties

• Tannins & Glycosides – Support healthy skin and aid in wound healing

Health & Wellness Benefits of Dried Kuppaimeni Leaves

1. Skin Care & Acne Relief

Kuppaimeni is widely used in herbal face packs and creams to treat acne, eczema, and skin rashes. Its antibacterial and antifungal properties help clear infections and soothe irritation.

2. Hair Strengthening & Dandruff Control

A staple in Ayurvedic hair treatments, Kuppaimeni helps reduce dandruff, control hair fall, and stimulate healthy hair growth when used in hair masks or oil infusions.

3. Detox & Blood Purification

When consumed in regulated quantities, it acts as a natural blood purifier, promoting liver health and flushing out toxins from the body.

4. Wound Healing & Pain Relief

Traditionally applied as a paste or poultice, Kuppaimeni leaves speed up wound healing, reduce swelling, and offer relief from joint pain or minor injuries.

5. Respiratory Support

Known to help manage cough, asthma, and sinus issues when used in decoctions or steam therapy.
