Lithocarpus rajah

Lithocarpus rajah, also known as the Rajah Lithocarpus or Rajah Oak, is a species of evergreen tree native to Borneo, with a broad, rounded crown and a straight, columnar trunk.

The plant has been traditionally used in folk medicine for its medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects, which have been attributed to the presence of various bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and phenolic acids.

The health benefits of Lithocarpus rajah include its ability to reduce oxidative stress, alleviate respiratory issues, and exhibit antimicrobial activity, making it a potential candidate for the development of new therapeutic agents.

In herbal preparations, the leaves and bark of Lithocarpus rajah are typically used, often in combination with other plants, and can be consumed as teas, infusions, or decoctions, or applied topically in the form of creams or ointments.
