Dried Indian Nettle Leaves (Kuppaimeni Ilai) – Traditional Herbal Remedy for Holistic Health

What is Indian Nettle (Kuppaimeni)?

Known botanically as Acalypha paniculata, Indian Nettle or Kuppaimeni Ilai is a revered medicinal herb widely used in Siddha and traditional Indian healing systems. Native to India and Sri Lanka, this plant is recognized for its unique stinging properties and potent health benefits. Though often mistaken for a weed, every part of the Indian Nettle — leaves, roots, seeds, and flowers — is valued for its therapeutic potential.

Also called Arimanjari, Poonaivanangi, or simply Kuppi in Tamil, this herb plays an important role in natural remedies across different regions.
