Scientific Summary

Broussonetia kurzii, known as Salae, is a flowering plant whose bark and leaves are used in traditional remedies. It is commonly employed as an adjunctive treatment for colds and influenza, to support immune health and increase stamina, and has also been used for chronic diarrhea, edema, abnormal uterine bleeding, diabetes, and as a mild heart tonic. Because scientific evidence is limited and there are reports of gastrointestinal upset and the possibility of interactions with diabetic or cardiac medications, it should be used cautiously, especially in pregnancy and by those on related drugs.
