| Evidence Level | limited |
Xanthium strumarium is a common weed plant whose seeds and root contain bitter alkaloids. It has been used traditionally to relieve digestive discomfort, treat abdominal cramps, and support wound healing, though clinical evidence is limited. Because it can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and potential kidney toxicity, it should be avoided in pregnancy, used only under professional guidance, and kept out of reach of children.
