Description
Item name: COLCHICUM
Botanical name : Colchicum Autumnale
The plant is common in Eurasia and Africa. The common names are autumn crocus, meadow saffron, and naked ladies. The list of therapeutic and prophylactic applications for colchicine in multiple fields of medicine is lengthening, as our appreciation of the anti-inflammatory properties of this natural drug expand and as our understanding of the many mechanisms affected by colchicine’s action deepens. A number of dermatologic diseases have already been found to respond to colchicine, and more thorough studies will likely reveal new uses for this ancient drug.
