Bandotan (Ageratum conyzoides L.) is a plant belonging to the Asteracea family. This plant is widely used as medicine in various countries such as Africa, Asia and South America. Bandotan is used as medicine because it contains useful phytochemical compounds such as terpenoids, alkaloids, essential oils, saponins and phenolics. Some of the pharmalogical activities on bandotan include antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic.
