Aristolochia tagala
Aristolochia tagala
Aristolochia tagala is a plant traditionally used by Kani tribes in Thodu hills, Kerala for various ailments. Scientific evidence suggests that extracts from Aristolochia tagala and Curcuma caesia may have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties, possibly through TNF-α-mediated decrease in NF-κB binding activity. A study found that Aristolochia tagala did not cause acute nephrotoxicity or worsen LPS-induced organ injuries in rats at tested doses. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
