Euphorbia, a part of the Euphorbiaceae family, also known as Spurge is a flowering plant. It is mostly found on open lands, roadsides and dirt roads. It is said to be a native of India and grows in South Asia, Australia, Africa and Central America. Some of the common names of euphorbia are Poinsettia, Asthma weed, milkweed (due to its ability to generate more milk in women after pregnancy) and radium weed.
Euphorbia essential oil is also popular by its botanical name Euphorbia Pulcherrima. It is extracted from the plant Euphorbia which branches itself from the family of Euphorbiaceae. One will find the existence of this plant almost all over the world. The part of the plant that flourishes above the ground holds medicinal properties.
The whole plant and its sap (latex) are used to make medicine. Despite safety concerns, people take poinsettia to treat fever, stimulate breast milk production, and cause an abortion. They also take the latex for pain, to kill bacteria, and to cause vomiting. Some people apply poinsettia latex directly to the skin to remove hair, treat warts, and heal other skin disorders. There is no good scientific evidence to support any of these uses. There are many benefits to Euphorbia. Some of them are anti-inflammatory activity, anti-tumor activity, anti-viral activity, pest repellent activity, anti-oxidation activity, anti-diabetic, sedative and wound healing ability. It is used in various forms, both internally and externally for various medical conditions.
