Chrysanthemum jacobaeifolium
Chrysanthemum jacobaeifolium, also known as yellow hawkweed or Senecio jacobaea, is a perennial flowering plant native to Europe, Western Asia, and North Africa.
It has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties, particularly in treating liver and kidney issues due to its hepatoprotective and diuretic effects.
The plant is rich in sesquiterpene lactones, which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, providing various health benefits, including reducing oxidative stress and improving liver function.
Chrysanthemum jacobaeifolium can be prepared as an herbal tea or tincture, making it a popular remedy in traditional medicine, although it is essential to note that the plant contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which can be toxic in large quantities.
