Annual Devilthorn
Tribulus terrestris
Tribulus terrestris is a plant commonly found in warm and temperate regions around the world. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented; however, it is sometimes used in alternative medicine for various conditions such as male sexual dysfunction and female reproductive health issues. Scientific evidence is limited but suggests potential benefits, particularly in reducing hormonal and oxidative markers in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) rats. A case report highlights the risk of Tribulus terrestris causing acute kidney injury, underscoring the need for medical supervision during its use. Additionally, studies indicate that extracts from this plant may have antimicrobial properties and accelerate wound healing in animal models, with identified compounds suggesting possible involvement in ischemic stroke-related processes. Notably, no major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded to date.
