Tragia Ramosa aka Noseburn

[KathleenStudent]

I have noseburn growing EVERYWHERE. I hate the plant but God must have put it in my yard for some reason. I’ve read that it is  a antibacterial, anticancer and aphrodisiac. Does anyone have in real practical experience with this plant?

I’ve never used it. It does have some medicinal history but very little research on efficacy and safety. Some members of that genus are pretty toxic so I’d be really careful to make sure I had the right ID before using the plant. In fact, I’d use one of the many many other herbs that do have good history and research that can do the same things. :0)

Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

Thanks! That’s what I wanted to know. I’ll continue my mission to eradicate this stinging menace.
