Cat’s Whiskers Herb Whole (Orthosiphon stamineus), also known as Java Tea or Misai Kucing, is a highly regarded traditional herb native to Southeast Asia and used for its diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and kidney-supportive properties. Named for its long, slender stamens that resemble a cat’s whiskers, this herb has been widely used in Malaysian, Indonesian, and Thai herbal medicine to promote urinary tract health, detoxification, and metabolic balance.

Cat’s Whiskers is especially known for supporting kidney and bladder function, and is commonly used to promote urination, reduce water retention, and flush out waste and excess uric acid from the body. It has traditionally been included in formulas for kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and mild hypertension, as well as for general detox support.

In addition to its renal effects, Orthosiphon stamineus also exhibits antioxidant, antimicrobial, and blood sugar-modulating properties, making it useful in broader wellness applications such as metabolic health, inflammation control, and immune support.

When steeped, Cat’s Whiskers Herb Whole produces a light, grassy infusion with mild bitterness and a clean finish. It is typically consumed as a tea, either on its own or in combination with other detoxifying herbs like dandelion, corn silk, or ginger.

Each batch of Cat’s Whiskers Herb Whole (Orthosiphon stamineus) is carefully harvested and dried to preserve the integrity of its leaf and floral structures. Whether used for kidney support, fluid regulation, or as part of a general wellness routine, this herb offers a gentle, effective way to promote internal cleansing and urinary health.
