Peuplier

Populus sect. Populus · Aspen, Cottonwood, Poplar

Populus sect. Populus, commonly known as poplar trees, are native to various regions across the Northern Hemisphere and have been utilized in traditional medicine for their bark, which has historically been used in treatments such as fevers and inflammation. However, there is no specific recorded tradition or use of this particular section within any traditional medical systems. Scientifically, a study identified 401 variant loci in poplar chloroplast genomes but found only one potential functional missense mutation, indicating limited genetic variation that may not directly translate to medicinal properties. Safety concerns are minimal, with no major issues recorded; similarly, there have been no reported drug interactions associated with this plant section.
