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]
