The curry tree, whose botanical name is murraya koenigii, is a tropical to subtropical tree in the rutaceae family and is native to Asia.
In some countries, locals refer to the tree as the curry leaf tree or curry bush, etc.
The leaves are known as curry leaves and are used in many cuisines in the Indian subcontinent and are an integral part of traditional medicine there.
For example, as an ingredient in Ayurvedic and Siddha medicine, these leaves are thought to have anti-disease properties, but there is no clinical evidence.
The leaves, stems, bark, and seeds of the curry tree contain compounds such as cinnamaldehyde and many carbazole alkaloids such as mahanimbine, guirimbine, and mahanine.
