Graceful pouzolzsbush
Pouzolzia zeylanica
Pouzolzia zeylanica is a plant traditionally used with no specific records noted. Scientific evidence suggests that compounds from this plant, particularly those identified as triterpenoids and sterols in its ethanolic extract of tubers, exhibit strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Additionally, bisphenol-C has shown potential antiviral activity against Nipah virus infection through both in-vitro and in-silico evaluations. While the scientific findings are promising, they are limited to in vitro studies, and more research is needed for broader applications. No significant safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded thus far.
