Strobilanthes cusia

Strobilanthes cusia is a plant traditionally used for dyeing in Guangxi, China. While its traditional medicinal uses are not well-documented, studies have shown promising antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and hypoglycemic activities in vitro and in vivo, though human trials are lacking to confirm these effects. The genetic diversity of the plant has been studied through population structure analysis and pseudogene identification, providing insights into its evolution and potential breeding strategies. No significant safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
