    Phyllantus niruri is a plant that grows widely in Southeast Asia. It contains several chemicals including lignins, saponins, alkaloids, tannins, and flavonoids. Research has shown that P. niruri has immunomodulatory effects and can boost the immune system. Specifically, it has been used to treat fever, kidney stones, stomachaches, and liver diseases. Studies demonstrate that P. niruri activates and modulates the immune system through its flavonoid and tannin content. While it does not have antifungal properties, it does have potent immunomodulatory and antibacterial activities. A common traditional preparation is to dry and boil 15-30g
