Carolina jasmine
Gelsemium sempervirens
Gelsemium sempervirens, commonly known as yellow jessamine or Carolina jasmine, is a flowering plant native to the southeastern United States. While it has been used in traditional medicine, particularly homeopathy, there are no specific recorded uses for this plant. A study identified various depsides and phenolic glycerides in its roots and rhizomes, estimating its phenolic content. The study also found that property value was a significant predictor of interaction frequency but had a small effect on plant reproduction. Among nine frequently used homeopathic medicines with meaningful indications for COVID-19 symptoms, Gelsemium sempervirens was one of them. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
