Euphorbia hirta (sometimes called asthma-plant[3]) is a pantropical weed, originating from the tropical regions of the Americas.[4] It is a hairy herb that grows in open grasslands, roadsides and pathways. It is widely used in traditional herbal medicine across many cultures, particularly for asthma, skin ailments, and hypertension.[5] It is also consumed in herbal tea form as folk medicine for fevers in the Philippines (where it is known as tawa-tawa), particularly for dengue fever and malaria.[6][7]
