Ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens) is a cactus‑like shrub whose bark, buds, and root portions are used as herbal remedies. It is traditionally applied to soothe digestive discomfort—such as bloating, indigestion, and mild diarrhea—and to relieve skin inflammation, bruises, and minor cuts. Use with caution, as the plant can irritate the skin or stomach in sensitive individuals, and pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid it until more safety data are available.
