Adesmia intricata

Adesmia intricata, also known as the intricate pea, is a flowering plant in the legume family, Fabaceae.

It is native to South America and has been used for its medicinal properties, primarily due to its high content of alkaloids, particularly cytisine and anagyrine.

The plant is believed to have various health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties, which may help alleviate symptoms of respiratory issues, such as bronchitis and asthma.

Adesmia intricata can be prepared as a herbal tea, infusion, or tincture, and is often used in traditional medicine, although its use should be carefully considered due to potential toxicity and interactions with other medications.
