Brewing Guide
Andrographis is an exceptionally bitter herb, so a little goes a long way. For a traditional herbal infusion, add approximately ¼ teaspoon of dried Andrographis to a cup (250ml) of freshly boiled water. Cover and steep for 5–10 minutes, then strain.
Due to its intense bitterness and potent herbal constituents, Andrographis is best used with guidance from a qualified herbal practitioner rather than as an unrestricted everyday tea.
Enjoy another infusion: The herbs may be steeped again with fresh hot water, although the strength of subsequent infusions will vary.
Blending with Other Herbs
Andrographis can be combined with other herbs to create a more balanced seasonal wellness blend. In traditional herbal practice, it may be paired with Echinacea, Elderflower, or Peppermint, depending on the intended purpose of the preparation.
Its exceptionally bitter flavour is worth considering when blending, and personalised guidance can help determine suitable combinations and quantities.
At The Herbary, we can help you explore herbal combinations suited to your individual wellbeing needs.
A Little Herbal Wisdom
Andrographis has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal medicine. Its reputation as the King of Bitters comes from its intensely bitter taste, largely associated with naturally occurring compounds known as andrographolides.
Unlike many gentle everyday herbal teas, Andrographis is generally regarded as a herb for more specific, short-term traditional use.
Please note: Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Andrographis may cause allergic reactions, including rare but serious anaphylaxis, and may interact with medicines, including anticoagulants, blood-pressure medicines, diabetes medicines, and immunosuppressants. Seek professional advice before use, particularly if you take medication, have an autoimmune condition, or are considering use for children. Discontinue use if an adverse reaction occurs.
At The Herbary, we believe that everyday wellbeing can be nurtured through simple, natural rituals and the wisdom of traditional herbal practice.
