Caesalpinia melanosticta var. greggii

Caesalpinia melanosticta var. greggii, also known as Desert Ironwood, is a deciduous shrub or small tree native to the southwestern regions of the United States and Mexico.

It has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties, which include anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antimicrobial effects.

The plant has been reported to have several health benefits, including reducing fever, alleviating pain, and promoting wound healing, due to its high concentrations of flavonoids and terpenoids.

In traditional herbal medicine, Desert Ironwood is often prepared as a tea, tincture, or infusion, and is also used topically to treat skin conditions and promote tissue repair.
