Delphinium Nudicaule

Scientific Summary

Delphinium nudicaule is a perennial flowering plant of the larkspur family that grows wild in alpine and temperate regions. Traditionally it has been used as a tonic for general weakness, an anti‑inflammatory for joint pain, a remedy for diabetes and a lactation aid, as well as an antimicrobial for various infections. Because the plant contains toxic diterpenoid alkaloids, its use can cause serious adverse effects and it should only be taken under the guidance of a qualified practitioner.
