Centaurium autumnale

Centaurium autumnale, also known as centaury or mountain centaury, is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Gentianaceae family.

This plant has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties, particularly for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, which are attributed to the presence of iridoid glycosides and other bioactive compounds.

The health benefits of Centaurium autumnale include its ability to treat digestive issues, such as bloating and indigestion, as well as its potential to help manage diabetes and certain types of cancer.

Centaurium autumnale is typically consumed as an herbal preparation, such as a tea, tincture, or infusions, although it can also be found in capsule or tablet form.
