Deep in the heart of Southeast Asia, along the forested trails of Thailand and neighboring countries, grows a humble shrub known by many names—Jetaphangki, Chettaphangki, and a host of local monikers such as “plao ngam” and “tawng ta phran.” For centuries, the roots and leaves of Cladogynos orientalis, or Jetaphangki, have been prized in traditional Thai medicine cabinets, used to soothe stomach troubles, restore harmony, and invigorate the body. Today, scientists and health seekers alike are rediscovering this botanical treasure, probing its traditional roots while putting its ancient claims to the test.
