Ponerorchis alpestris

Ponerorchis alpestris, also known as the Alpine Ponerorchis, is a rare and endangered species of flowering plant in the orchid family.

The plant has been found to possess medicinal properties, particularly in its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, making it a potential candidate for the development of new antibiotics.

The health benefits of Ponerorchis alpestris include its potential to reduce inflammation and improve immune function, although more research is needed to confirm these effects.

Herbal preparations of the plant, such as tinctures and infusions, may be used in traditional medicine, but their effectiveness and safety have not been extensively studied.
