Hi,
This should be Boerhaavia diffusa, and I believe this should not be a bush, it is a straggling herb.

Agree with you all. This is Boerhavia diffusa, popularly called as 'Punarnava' (i think its a Sanskrit name). Tamil name is 'Mookirattai'

good for renal insufficiency cases, works wonders...
witnessed many cases...
when used by a well trained and Intuitive (read: LONG practice
duration and good basic medicine training) Vaidya... with modern
degree.... and a well motivated patient (and family that supports the
patient... you need that even for Allopathic therapies including
hemodialysis, not easy to be a renal insufficiency patient) ..
