Tylophora velutina, also known as the 'Indian ipecac', is a species of flowering plant in the family Asclepiadaceae.

The plant has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for its medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory and anti-asthmatic properties, due to the presence of alkaloids such as tylophorine and tylophorinone.

The health benefits of Tylophora velutina include relief from bronchial asthma, allergies, and respiratory problems, as well as its potential to reduce fever and alleviate symptoms of malaria.
