EUPHORBIA HERB C/S

Euphorbia pilulifera A species of plant (family Euphorbiaceae); the dried herb used in asthma, coryza and other respiratory affections, in angina pectoris, and as an antispasmodic. Euphorbia is a flowering plant with numerous sub-species. Most of its species are called splurges, which can be herbaceous or succulent. Almost all parts of the plant are of medicinal value. When a leaf or part of the stem is cut, milky sap oozes out and immediately gets coagulated. This can be highly toxic if it comes in direct contact with our skin. Hence, while certain parts of euphorbia can be used for its health benefits, the plant can also be toxic and unsafe for use. It is best to wear gloves when handling the euphorbia herb. Euphorbia seeds are not sold commercially on a large scale as their shelf life is rather limited.
