Oxalis corniculata
Oxalis corniculata
Oxalis corniculata, commonly known as yellow wood sorrel or creeping oxalis, is a widespread plant found across various regions including Africa and parts of Asia. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented in any specific medical traditions. However, scientific studies have shown promising results, indicating potential applications such as promoting fracture healing through multiple molecular pathways. Additionally, it exhibits antioxidant, antibacterial, and enzyme inhibitory properties in vitro, and a molecule named ET-170 from Oxalis corniculata has demonstrated potential antitubercular activity. While the evidence is currently limited, no major safety issues or recorded drug interactions have been identified to date.
