Lamb of Tartary
Cibotium barometz
Cibotium barometz, a member of the fern family, traditionally has no recorded uses in any known medical practices. Scientific studies have shown some improvement in peri-implant mucositis when using toothpicks containing Cibotium barometz compared to chlorhexidine and saline groups; however, these results are cautiously interpreted due to limited evidence. Climate change research suggests potential shifts in the suitable habitat for this plant under future climate scenarios. Genes involved in the biosynthesis of polysaccharides, flavonoids, and lignins have been identified, providing insights into its bioactive compounds. Additionally, nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots derived from Cibotium barometz demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity for Cu2+ detection, indicating potential applications in chemical sensing. No major safety issues or recorded drug interactions have been noted to date.
