Sium luteum

Sium luteum, also known as water parsnip or water carrot, is a perennial aquatic plant native to North America and Europe.

It has been used in traditional medicine for its medicinal properties, particularly as a natural diuretic and anti-inflammatory agent, due to its high concentration of saponins and other bioactive compounds.

The health benefits of Sium luteum include treating urinary tract infections, reducing swelling and pain, and supporting kidney function.

Sium luteum can be prepared as a tincture, tea, or infusion, and is also used in some herbal remedies in its fresh or dried form.
