Adder's Tongue
Ophioglossum vulgatum
Ophioglossum vulgatum, commonly known as Adder's-tongue fern, is a plant traditionally used in few documented practices. There are no reported traditional uses or specific cultural applications for this species. Scientific evidence suggests a probable association between the consumption of Ophioglossum vulgatum and severe rhabdomyolysis, based on case reports. The study also indicates that the plant's microbial communities exhibit tissue-specific and rhizosphere-dependent variations, correlating with bioactive compound accumulation. In another study, administration of 20 mg/kg crude extract significantly reduced mean blood pressure by 31.53% in spontaneously hypertensive rats within 60 minutes, though the evidence is limited. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant, but further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore its potential medicinal applications comprehensively.

Lo que dice la ciencia
- Este estudio informa sobre una posible asociación entre el consumo de Ophioglossum vulgatum y la rhabdomyolisis severa en 10 casos.
- El estudio mostró que la diversidad y abundancia de las comunidades microbianas en Ophioglossum vulgatum exhiben variaciones tisular y dependientes del rhizoporo, correlacionadas con el acumulado de compuestos bioactivos.
- Ophioglossum vulgatum redujo la salida reproductiva más que el crecimiento vegetativo en respuesta al corte, con la poda no teniendo un impacto directo significativo。
- El estudio encontró que la administración de un extracto crudo de Ophioglossum vulgatum a una dosis de 20 mg/kg significativamente redujo el presión arterial media en un 31,53% en ratas hipertensas espontáneas dentro de las primeras 60 minutos.
