Ming Aralia

Polyscias fruticosa

Polyscias fruticosa, commonly known as false boehmeria or niu huang in Chinese medicine, is a plant traditionally used in some Asian cultures for various purposes but lacks specific documented traditional uses. Scientific evidence suggests potential benefits from Polyscias fruticosa leaf extract, which has shown improvements in lifespan, memory, motor behavior, and oxidative stress markers in fly models exposed to aluminum chloride. Additionally, bioreactor cultivation of the plant demonstrated higher triterpene glycoside accumulation compared to flask cultures, indicating its potential for sustainable biomass production. Over 120 metabolites were identified in Polyscias fruticosa, including compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anticancer, and neuroprotective activities, though the strength of these findings varies widely. No major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been noted for this plant.
