Thalictrum hesperium

Thalictrum hesperium, also known as Western Meadow Rue, is a perennial plant native to North America, characterized by its delicate purple or white flowers and fern-like foliage.

Traditionally, it has been used in herbal medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, which may help to soothe and calm the skin and mucous membranes.

The plant's medicinal properties are attributed to its content of alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins, which have been shown to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities.

Western Meadow Rue can be prepared as a tea, tincture, or salve, and is often used to treat a range of health issues, including skin irritations, wounds, and respiratory problems.
