Asthma-Plant
Euphorbia hirta
Scientific Summary
Euphorbia hirta is a green herbaceous plant whose leaves, stems, and roots are commonly harvested for use. It is traditionally employed to ease asthma, cough, sore throat, and digestive upset, owing to its anti‑inflammatory and bronchodilatory properties. Because the plant’s sap can be irritating to skin and mucous membranes, avoid contact with bare skin, do not ingest raw sap, and seek professional guidance before use, especially during pregnancy or if you have a pre‑existing medical condition.
