Bogbean (Menyanthes trifoliata) is a perennial aquatic herb with flat, heart‑shaped leaves and fibrous rhizomes. It is traditionally used for its bitter, diuretic, and digestive properties, supporting the stomach, lungs, and urinary tract. Consuming large amounts can cause mild stomach upset; it should be taken with caution by people with kidney problems, those on diuretics or anticoagulants, and by pregnant or nursing women.
