Thelypteris morotaiensis
Thelypteris morotaiensis, also known as the Morotai fern, is a species of fern native to the Pacific Islands, specifically in the Morotai Island of Indonesia.
This plant is known for its medicinal properties, particularly in treating respiratory issues such as bronchitis and asthma, due to its expectorant and anti-inflammatory properties.
The health benefits of Thelypteris morotaiensis include its ability to reduce fever, relieve coughs, and alleviate other respiratory symptoms.
Traditionally, the plant is prepared into herbal teas, infusions, or decoctions, which are often used in folk medicine, although further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and potential interactions with other medications.
