Box Elder (Acer negundo) is a deciduous tree whose bark, leaves, and roots are traditionally used in herbal preparations. It is applied mainly for its anti‑inflammatory and antioxidant properties, with traditional use for supporting cardiovascular health, easing respiratory irritation and aiding digestive comfort.
