Scientific Summary

Pandan leaf is the bright green leaf of the tropical palm Pandanus amaryllifolius, widely used in South Asian and Chinese traditional medicine. Its juice and extracts are traditionally applied to calm stomach upset, support liver health, reduce inflammation, and alleviate coughs and colds. Generally it is safe when used in normal culinary quantities, but large or concentrated amounts can cause mild gastrointestinal irritation, and individuals taking anticoagulants or with bleeding disorders should use caution.
