Geranium des marais
Geranium palustre
Geranium palustre is a plant traditionally not associated with any specific medicinal uses. Scientific studies have highlighted its potential for heavy metal bioindication, suggesting it could be useful in environmental monitoring. The pollinator spectrum of Geranium palustre varies from that of other species like Chamaenerion angustifolium and G. pratense due to differences in insect size preference and flower structure. Anatomical studies have characterized the root, stem, and leaf sections of Geranium palustre, noting the presence of calcium oxalate crystals and varying vascular bundles. Phenolic profiles from methanolic extracts of different Geranium species showed varying cytotoxic activities, with some demonstrating selective effects against cancer cells, though specific findings for G. palustre alone are not detailed in current literature. Safety concerns for Geranium palustre have not been widely reported, indicating no major issues recorded. There is also no evidence to suggest significant drug interactions with this plant.
