Hetaeria pygmaea

Hetaeria pygmaea is a type of orchid plant species, specifically a terrestrial orchid native to Southeast Asia.

The plant has been used in traditional medicine, particularly for its anti-inflammatory properties, which are attributed to its alkaloid content.

The health benefits of Hetaeria pygmaea include its potential to reduce fever, alleviate pain, and treat skin conditions such as eczema and acne.

Hetaeria pygmaea can be prepared into herbal teas or infusions, as well as being used in topical creams and ointments, although further research is needed to confirm its efficacy.
