Methods: This study used literature review method on in vivo and in vitro experimental studies that have been conducted.  The article search used online databases Sciencedirect and Pubmed. Results: A total of eight articles were used in this study. Discussion: Based on the literature review, it is proven that sambiloto leaves have compounds that give rise to immunomodulatory effects. Conclusion: According to this study, the leaves of sambiloto (Andrographis paniculata) have the potential to be used as a herbal immunomodulatory medication that has anti-inflammatory and immune-enhancing effects.
