Vincetoxicum hirsutum

About

Vincetoxicum hirsutum is a climbing shrub known for its long stems, which can reach up to 5 metres (16 ft) and twine around other plants for support. It's used in traditional medicine, particularly in Asia, for treating respiratory conditions like asthma and bronchitis. However, scientific research on its medicinal properties is limited, and caution should be exercised. Sustainable harvesting practices should be encouraged if they are gathered from the wild.
