Neomammillaria lasiacantha

Neomammillaria lasiacantha, also known as the 'Mammillaria lasiacantha' or 'old lady cactus', is a species of cactus in the genus Mammillaria.

It is believed to have medicinal properties due to the presence of alkaloids and other compounds that may exhibit anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities.

The plant is thought to offer health benefits, such as reducing fever, and aiding in the treatment of various conditions, including skin irritations and respiratory issues.

The herbal preparations of this plant typically involve drying and grinding the cactus segments to be used in teas, infusions, or topical applications, although further research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.
