Hakea spinosa, also known as the prickly hakea, is a flowering plant that belongs to the Proteaceae family and is native to the southwestern regions of Western Australia.

The plant has been used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which are attributed to its high concentration of flavonoids and phenolic acids.

The medicinal properties of Hakea spinosa have been found to have health benefits, including reducing inflammation, improving wound healing, and acting as an antioxidant.

Hakea spinosa is traditionally used in herbal preparations, such as teas, infusions, and topical creams, although its use should be cautioned due to potential skin and eye irritation.
