Pavetta Herb Whole (Pavetta indica) is the dried aerial portion of a traditional medicinal plant widely used in Ayurvedic, Siddha, and Southeast Asian folk medicine for its cooling, detoxifying, and inflammation-relieving properties. This herb has long been valued for its ability to clear heat, reduce fever, support the liver, and soothe inflammatory conditions, particularly those associated with toxic heat, infections, or internal inflammation. Its nature is generally considered bitter and cooling, making it suitable for heat-dominant patterns.
In traditional use, Pavetta Herb is commonly prepared as a decoction or herbal tea to help reduce fever, calm internal heat, and support recovery from acute illness. It has been used for malarial and febrile conditions, jaundice, digestive heat, and inflammatory pain, as well as for general detoxification when the body is burdened by heat and toxins.
Pavetta indica is also used externally in folk practice, applied as washes, poultices, or compresses for skin inflammation, wounds, ulcers, swelling, and insect bites, reflecting its traditional role in clearing heat and supporting tissue healing at the surface level. Its cooling and cleansing action makes it especially useful in hot, humid climates.
Modern phytochemical research shows that Pavetta indica contains flavonoids, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, and anti-inflammatory constituents with documented antipyretic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects. These findings support its traditional use for fever management, inflammation reduction, and detoxification support.
Each batch of Pavetta Herb Whole (Pavetta indica) is carefully harvested and dried to preserve its leafy structure, natural bitterness, and cooling energetic profile. When decocted, it produces a bitter, cooling infusion traditionally used to clear heat, reduce fever, support liver function, and ease inflammation-driven discomfort.

Nutrients: Flavonoids, iridoid glycosides, phenolic acids, tannins, and trace volatile constituents
Notes: In Traditional Chinese Medicine and regional folk practice, Man Tian Xing is used to clear heat, resolve toxicity, reduce swelling, and alleviate pain. It is commonly applied for sore throat, boils, abscesses, skin inflammation, and heat-toxin conditions. Bitter and cooling in nature, it is often used internally in decoctions or externally as washes and poultices. The name “Man Tian Xing” (meaning “stars filling the sky”) refers to the plant’s small white flowers rather than its medicinal part.
