Jeffersonia diphylla

Scientific Summary

Jeffersonia diphylla is a perennial herb whose tuberous root is harvested for use in herbal preparations. It is traditionally used to soothe skin irritations, support wound healing, and act as a mild diuretic and anti‑inflammatory agent. The root is generally safe when taken in recommended amounts, but can cause mild gastrointestinal upset and should be avoided by pregnant or nursing women until more safety data are available.
