Swallenia alexandrae

Swallenia alexandrae, also known as the Alexandra's desert willow, is a flowering plant species native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico.

It is valued for its medicinal properties, particularly its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which are attributed to the presence of flavonoids, phenolic acids, and saponins.

The health benefits of Swallenia alexandrae include its potential to alleviate symptoms of respiratory issues, such as bronchitis and asthma, as well as its ability to support cardiovascular health and reduce inflammation.

In herbal preparations, the plant is often used as a tea or tincture, and it can also be dried and used in infusions, although further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and potential interactions.
