minus-squaretree_frog@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17arrow-down3·edit-21 day agoIt has the same chemical in it aspirin does when you metabolize aspirin, so it’s good as an anti-inflammatory.

minus-squaretree_frog@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 day agoYeah, I actually picked up on that yesterday. Someone that sent to traditional medicine gave me some. I think I will avoid it in the future. And I edited my comments above to reflect that this morning
