Orthosiphon aristatus
Malaysian and Indonesian herb widely used in Jamu and official herbal medicine across Southeast Asia; primary urinary and kidney herb.
Orthosiphon aristatus, known as Misai Kucing or Java tea, is a traditional Southeast Asian herb primarily used for urinary and kidney health. Its diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and antilithic properties are attributed to polymethoxylated flavonoids like sinensetin and eupatorin, along with rosmarinic acid. Modern research supports its use in managing urinary tract infections, kidney stones, hypertension, and diabetes, though evidence is limited (Level C).
The diuretic effect of Orthosiphon aristatus is mediated through inhibition of the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, increasing sodium and water excretion. Sinensetin and eupatorin exhibit anti-inflammatory activity by suppressing COX-2 and 5-LOX pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Rosmarinic acid contributes antioxidant effects and may inhibit calcium oxalate crystal aggregation, supporting antilithic action. Additionally, methylripariochromene A and orthosiphonin have shown alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activity, contributing to antidiabetic effects.
