Aristolochia trilobata is a climbing
vine species that typically reaches a length of up to three meters. The leaves are characterized by dark green coloration and have three lobes. The bark is coarse, readily sheds, and emits a distinctive, potent odor. In traditional
folk medicine, the whole plant is used to create a tea or an extract. It is recommended to consume the tea in moderation (once a week) to prevent other health complications. Teas and extracts are known to increase immune health, increase appetite/energy, and fight fatigue. It has been commonly used to treat conditions such as
flu,
gastritis,
parasites,
fevers,
constipation,
stomach ache, and
indigestion. == Habitat ==
