Yerba Mansa

Scientific Summary

Yerba mansa is a herbaceous plant whose dried leaves, roots and bark are traditionally used in medicine. It is employed mainly as an antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal, especially for treating vaginal candidiasis, sore throat, gum inflammation, and mild joint swelling, and can be made into tea, tincture, or applied as a poultice. Because it has diuretic properties, it can increase fluid loss and affect kidney function, so people with kidney problems, allergies, or those who are pregnant should use it with caution.
