Species of flowering plant
Geum japonicum , known as Asian herb bennet ,
[1] is a yellow-flowering perennial plant native to North America and East Asia, especially Japan. It may be synonymous with
Geum macrophyllum , the North American flower. As a traditional herbal remedy it is known as an astringent and used in poultices.
[2] However, in recent years, the Thunberg variant has received attention for other possible medical uses.
With regard to muscular recovery, an extract has been found to help muscles recover following "severe injury",
[3] to reduce myocardial
infarct size by 35–45% when administered following a heart attack.
[4] It also has possible anti-viral properties,
[5] including action against HIV
[6] and HSV.
[7] Action against tumors has also been noted.
