Leontopodium

Leontopodium, commonly known as edelweiss, is a traditional Alpine plant with origins in the mountainous regions of Europe and Asia. Traditionally, it has not been extensively used in any specific medical or folk practices. Scientific evidence suggests that cosmetics containing meristem cells from Leontopodium alpinum and other plants were safe and showed some improvement in skin markers among menopausal women. In agricultural settings, supplementation with Leontopodium alpinum reduced liver enzyme activities, cholesterol, and triglycerides while enhancing hematological parameters and gene expression related to metabolism and antioxidants in broiler chickens. Additionally, studies identified six compounds from various alpine plants, including Leontopodium, as potential PDE4 inhibitors, with one analogue showing comparable activity to known inhibitors. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
