Toxicodendron abyssinicum

Toxicodendron abyssinicum, also known as the Ethiopian Poison Ivy, is a plant species in the Anacardiaceae family that belongs to the same genus as poison ivy.

The plant contains urushiol, a toxic oil that causes skin irritation and allergic reactions.

However, the plant has been used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, which may provide relief from skin conditions, fever, and infections.

Herbal preparations of Toxicodendron abyssinicum, such as infusions and decoctions, are used to treat various health issues, including skin conditions, wounds, and respiratory problems, although its effectiveness and safety are not scientifically proven.
