Pteris dichotoma

Pteris dichotoma, also known as the Chinese fern, is a species of fern native to East Asia, characterized by its distinctive dichotomous fronds.

The plant is valued for its medicinal properties, including its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial effects, which are attributed to the presence of various compounds such as flavonoids and phenolic acids.

The health benefits of Pteris dichotoma include its potential to protect against cardiovascular disease, reduce inflammation, and exhibit anti-cancer properties.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the plant is often prepared as a tea or infusion, or used in combination with other herbs to treat various health conditions.
