Pyrus petiolata

Pyrus petiolata, also known as the Himalayan wild apple, is a deciduous shrub native to the Himalayan region.

The plant has been used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which are attributed to its high concentration of flavonoids and phenolic acids.

The medicinal properties of Pyrus petiolata have been found to have various health benefits, including reducing oxidative stress, improving cardiovascular health, and exhibiting antimicrobial activity against certain pathogens.

Pyrus petiolata can be prepared into herbal teas, infusions, and decoctions, as well as being used to make jams, jellies, and other edible products, although further research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety for human consumption.
