Odontoglossum sanguineum

Odontoglossum sanguineum is a species of orchid, native to the tropical regions of South America, characterized by its bright red to orange flowers.

The plant is used in traditional medicine for its purported medicinal properties, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, which are attributed to the presence of flavonoids and other bioactive compounds.

Odontoglossum sanguineum is believed to offer various health benefits, such as reducing fever, relieving respiratory issues, and supporting immune function.

The plant can be prepared into herbal teas, infusions, and tinctures, which are typically made by steeping the leaves and flowers in hot water or a solvent like ethanol.
