Climbing brinjal (Thoothuvalai / Purple-fruited pea eggplant) is a traditional medicinal plant widely used in Siddha medicine for its respiratory and immune-boosting properties. It is especially effective in relieving cough, cold, asthma, bronchitis, and throat infections, as it helps clear phlegm and reduce inflammation in the respiratory tract. Climbing brinjal also aids digestion, improves appetite, and supports liver health. Its antioxidant and antibacterial properties help strengthen immunity, purify the blood, and promote overall wellness when consumed regularly in herbal preparations or health mixes.
