Elopium surinamense

Elopium surinamense, also known as the Elaterium plant, is a type of plant native to the tropical regions of South America and the Caribbean.

It has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties, particularly for its expectorant and emetic qualities, which make it effective in treating respiratory issues such as coughs and bronchitis.

The plant's health benefits include its ability to stimulate digestion, relieve constipation, and reduce fever.

In herbal preparations, Elaterium is often used in the form of a tincture or extract, which can be taken orally to reap its medicinal benefits.
