Catha parvifolius

Catha parvifolius, also known as False Khat, is a plant species in the Celastraceae family native to the tropical regions of East Africa and the Middle East.

It contains cathinones, which have been found to have medicinal properties, particularly in its ability to increase alertness and boost energy.

The health benefits associated with Catha parvifolius include its potential to reduce fatigue, improve mental focus, and aid in weight loss, although more research is needed to confirm these claims.

In traditional medicine, Catha parvifolius is often prepared as a tea or used in herbal supplements, but its use is not without controversy due to concerns over its potential for abuse and dependence.
