Crepidium brachyodontum, also known as the Short-toothed Orchid, is a species of orchid native to Mexico and Central America.

Traditionally, Crepidium brachyodontum has been used for its medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, which have been attributed to the presence of flavonoids and phenolic compounds in its leaves and flowers.

Herbal preparations of Crepidium brachyodontum are typically made by infusing the leaves and flowers in hot water or oil to create teas, tinctures, and topical creams, although further research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety for human consumption.
