Shoreline Purslane

Sesuvium portulacastrum

Scientific Summary

Shoreline Purslane (Sesuvium portulacastrum) is a succulent herb that thrives along coastal margins. It is used for its anti‑inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties, often to support digestion, skin healing, and immune function. Because it can lower blood sugar, people with diabetes should monitor levels, it may cause stomach upset if taken in large amounts, and it is not recommended for pregnant or very young individuals without a healthcare professional’s guidance.
