Acnistus spinescens

Acnistus spinescens, also known as the spiny acnistus or San Antonio flame vine, is a perennial vine native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.

This plant has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties, particularly in treating various health issues due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

The health benefits of Acnistus spinescens include reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and fighting against bacterial and fungal infections.

Acnistus spinescens can be prepared into herbal teas, tinctures, and infusions for its medicinal use, although further research is needed to confirm its efficacy and potential side effects.
