Traditional Uses: Traditionally used in Mediterranean, Iranian, and African folk medicine for centuries to treat fever and malaria, as a diuretic, for wound healing, and to promote water elimination in mild cases of fluid retention.
Potential Benefits: May help modestly lower blood pressure, reduce inflammation and certain pain (e.g., osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis), support healthy cholesterol levels, and aid in blood sugar management, though high-quality human trials are limited.
Warnings: Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to lack of safety data; may interact with blood pressure medications (additive hypotensive effect) and diabetes medications (risk of hypoglycemia); individuals with severe heart or kidney disease should not use it.
