Pulmonaria mollis
Pulmonaria mollis
Pulmonaria mollis is a plant belonging to the Boraginaceae family. While its traditional medicinal use has not been documented, studies have identified six active compounds in shoot extracts and four in root extracts of 17 Boraginaceae species, including Pulmonaria mollis. The research indicates that extracts from this plant exhibit antioxidant activity both in vivo and in vitro, along with other bioactive properties such as enzyme inhibitory, antibacterial, and antifungal activities. However, the scientific evidence is limited, and more comprehensive studies are needed to fully understand its potential medicinal benefits. No significant safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for Pulmonaria mollis.
