Pelargonium pinnatum
Pelargonium pinnatum, also known as the Cape Geranium or Wild Rose Geranium, is a perennial plant native to South Africa, characterized by its fragrant pink or white flowers and pinnate leaves.
Traditionally, the plant is used for its medicinal properties, including its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, which have been attributed to the presence of flavonoids and phenolic acids.
The health benefits of Pelargonium pinnatum include its potential to aid in digestion, reduce menstrual cramps, and exhibit antioxidant properties.
The plant is often used in herbal preparations, such as teas, infusions, and tinctures, although more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in treating various health conditions.
