Euphorbia hirta, often called asthma weed, has long been used in traditional medicine for its powerful healing properties. The article highlights its “30 benefits”, claiming it helps the body fight infections, ease breathing, and support digestion. It’s said to “improve blood circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots.”

Traditionally, people used it to treat coughs, asthma, diarrhea, dysentery, and menstrual problems. Some believe it supports kidney and urinary health and “promotes faster wound healing”. It’s also described as “a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.”

For safety, the article stresses moderation: “Use only small amounts and avoid long-term consumption.” Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid it, as it may cause uterine contractions. Possible side effects include “nausea, vomiting, and skin irritation.”

Experts advise consulting a herbalist before use. Scientific studies support some of its traditional uses, showing antibacterial and antidiarrheal activity, but there’s still “insufficient reliable evidence” for many claims.

Used carefully, Euphorbia hirta may offer natural support for respiratory, digestive, and skin health—but it should never replace proper medical treatment.
