Cystorchis javanica

Cystorchis javanica, also known as the "monkey face orchid," is a unique and endangered orchid species native to Java, Indonesia.

This plant is valued for its medicinal properties, particularly its ability to lower blood pressure and act as a natural diuretic due to the presence of flavonoids and other bioactive compounds.

The health benefits of Cystorchis javanica include its potential to aid in the treatment of hypertension, edema, and other cardiovascular conditions, as well as its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Cystorchis javanica is traditionally prepared as a herbal tea, tincture, or infusion, and is also sometimes used in combination with other herbs in traditional medicine practices.
