Platanthera fornicata

Platanthera fornicata, also known as the green orchid or green fringed orchid, is a type of perennial orchid native to North America.

This plant is valued for its medicinal properties, particularly its ability to treat respiratory issues such as bronchitis and coughs, due to its expectorant and anti-inflammatory properties.

The health benefits of Platanthera fornicata include its potential to reduce inflammation, alleviate respiratory problems, and serve as a natural antiseptic.
