Pelargonium sidoides
Overview
Pelargonium sidoides is a flowering plant native to South Africa. It's used as medicine by the native populations of South Africa.
Pelargonium sidoides might work by killing bacteria or preventing bacteria from attaching to surfaces within the body.
People use Pelargonium sidoides for bronchitis, common cold, COPD, sore throat, asthma, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support most of these uses.
Pelargonium sidoides is sometimes called geranium. Don't confuse Pelargonium sidoides with rose geranium oil or spotted geranium. These are not the same.
