Gorse / Whin
Ulex
Ulex, also known as gorse, is a flowering plant traditionally associated with British and Irish folklore. However, there are no specific traditional uses documented for Ulex in any medical or folk practices. Scientific evidence related to Ulex is limited; one study noted choroidal thickening and large-caliber vessels coexisting with choriocapillaris degeneration and neovascularization in a case of multifocal geographic atrophy, while another identified cells resembling mammalian microfold cells in olive flounder intestines. Müller cells showed activation and structural changes around drusen, contributing to subretinal membrane formation in the same condition. The study also reported the first documented Bombay (Oh) phenotype in Iraq through a case involving severe hemolytic reaction after transfusion with group O blood. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for Ulex.
