Aylostera applanata

Aylostera applanata, also known as the "Mammillaria applanata," is a species of cactus native to Mexico, characterized by its globular stems and short, stout spines.

Traditionally, the plant has been used for its medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, which have been attributed to the presence of saponins and other compounds.

The health benefits of Aylostera applanata include its ability to reduce inflammation, promote wound healing, and support the immune system.

In herbal preparations, the plant is often used in teas, infusions, and topical applications, although its use should be approached with caution due to the potential for skin irritation and allergic reactions.
