Anisochilus is a genus in the family Lamiaceae, commonly called as Kapuri [2] first described in 1830. It is native to China, the Indian Subcontinent, and Indochina.[1][3][4] Has healing properties that deal with treatment for ailments known as gastric ulcer and helps with dermis issues.[5] Anisochilus also has active properties such as camphor, leutiolin, and apigenin. A new hygrine-like compound has been found within the DNA of this plant.[2]
