Codonanthe calcarata

Codonanthe calcarata, also known as the "Hooked Tooth Plant", is a species of flowering plant in the family Gesneriaceae.

It is used in traditional medicine, particularly in South America, for its medicinal properties, which include anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects.

The plant is believed to provide various health benefits, such as reducing fever and alleviating respiratory issues, due to its expectorant properties.

In herbal preparations, the plant is often used in teas, infusions, and decoctions to harness its medicinal properties, although further studies are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.
