Persica tangutica

Persica tangutica, also known as the Chinese peach kernel or Prunus persica var. tanquetica, is a deciduous tree native to China and other parts of Asia, belonging to the Rosaceae family.

The plant's medicinal properties are attributed to its kernel, which is rich in amygdalin, a compound that releases cyanide when ingested, which can be used to treat various health conditions.

The health benefits of Persica tangutica include its potential to reduce fever, alleviate respiratory issues, and provide anti-inflammatory effects.

Persica tangutica can be prepared into herbal remedies such as tea, decoctions, or dried kernel extracts, and is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine.
