Youngia japonica is a perennial herb in the Asteraceae family, commonly called Japanese hawkweed. It is traditionally used for its anti‑inflammatory and digestive‑supportive properties, helping to relieve abdominal pain, reduce diarrhea, and aid liver function. While generally considered safe, the plant can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some people, and its interactions with blood thinners or other medications are not well documented, so use with caution.
