Geum japonicum

Geum japonicum, known as Asian herb bennet, [1] is a yellow-flowering perennial plant native to North America and East Asia, especially Japan. It may be synonymous with Geum macrophyllum , the North American flower. As a traditional herbal remedy it is known as an astringent and used in poultices. [2] However, in recent years, the Thunberg variant has received attention for other possible medical uses.

With regard to muscular recovery, an extract has been found to help muscles recover following "severe injury", [3] to reduce myocardial infarct size by 35–45% when administered following a heart attack. [4] It also has possible anti-viral properties, [5] including action against HIV [6] and HSV. [7] Action against tumors has also been noted. [8]
