Alexanders (Smyrnium olusatrum) is a perennial herb in the carrot family that grows leafy stems and small white flowers. It is traditionally used as a natural tonic for boosting energy, supporting joint and digestive health, and strengthening immunity, with some applications as a lactation aid and aphrodisiac. Because the plant contains alkaloids and can lower blood sugar, it should be used with caution by people with diabetes, those on blood‑thinning medications, or pregnant or breastfeeding women, and it may cause mild stomach upset in some users.
