Jatropha elliptica

Jatropha elliptica, also known as the Spurge or Physic Nut, is a plant species native to tropical regions of Central and South America.

The plant has been used in traditional medicine for its medicinal properties, which include anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antiviral properties, due to the presence of compounds like alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins.

The health benefits of Jatropha elliptica include its use in treating skin conditions, wounds, and fever, as well as its potential to reduce inflammation and improve immune function.

Jatropha elliptica can be prepared into herbal remedies such as infusions, decoctions, and ointments, although more research is needed to fully understand its effects and optimal preparations.
