Gold-foot Fern
Phlebodium aureum
Phlebodium aureum, commonly known as the golden polypody fern, is a traditional medicine plant native to tropical and subtropical regions of Central and South America. While its use in traditional medicine practices has not been extensively recorded, studies have begun to explore its potential therapeutic applications. Research indicates that Phlebodium aureum contains an active enzyme, hydroxynitrile lyase, which could be relevant for certain medical conditions. A review suggests it may show some promise when used with phototherapy for treating vitiligo, though further clinical trials are required to substantiate these findings. Additionally, a study has provided the first de novo transcriptome of Phlebodium aureum 'Mandaianum', offering insights into its genetic makeup and potential metabolic pathways. In terms of safety, no major issues have been reported, and there are currently no recorded drug interactions associated with this plant.
