Neottia cordata

Neottia cordata, also known as the heart-leaf orchid, is a type of orchid native to eastern North America, characterized by its distinctive heart-shaped leaves and small white flowers.

Neottia cordata has been used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which are said to have various health benefits, including reducing pain and inflammation, and protecting against oxidative stress.

The plant's roots and leaves can be made into herbal preparations such as infusions, decoctions, and tinctures, which are often used to treat conditions like arthritis, fever, and skin irritations.

Additionally, the plant's medicinal properties have been shown to have potential in treating more serious health conditions, although further research is needed to confirm its efficacy.
