ledum palustre

Ledum palustre, also known by its botanical name *Rhododendron tomentosum*, is a plant-derived substance used primarily in homeopathic medicine. It is traditionally indicated for the treatment of ecchymosis (bruising), puncture wounds, and insect stings. In clinical development, it has been evaluated by companies like Cearna, Inc. as part of a topical formulation (often in combination with *Arnica montana*) to reduce the severity and duration of bruising following mechanical injury or surgical procedures. The plant contains volatile oils, including the sesquiterpene alcohol ledol, as well as various flavonoids and tannins, which are thought to contribute to its purported anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effects.
