celtis integrifolia

Celtis integrifolia is a plant species traditionally used in African folk medicine, particularly for its leaves and roots. Extracts from the plant are reported to exhibit antioxidant properties and are used in traditional contexts for wound healing, as an aphrodisiac, for controlling bleeding, and for treating conditions such as diarrhea and nervous disorders. The roots, in particular, are used against nervous problems, while decoctions are employed for the control of diarrhea. Pharmacognostic and phytochemical analyses confirm the presence of antioxidant agents in the leaves, supporting some traditional uses. There is no established pharmaceutical mechanism of action, and the substance is not defined as a pharmaceutical drug but a traditional remedy or supplement[1][2][3][5][6].
