Anti-inflammatory effects of cyclamen

摘要

Cyclamens are plants native to an area of southern Europe, northern Africa and western Asia bordering the Mediterranean sea. The Cyclamen genus comprises around 20 species, the most familiar being C purpurascens, widely cultivated as a houseplant for its showy, dark green leaves necked with silver, and nodding white, pink or red flowers with their familiar, reflexed petals. In the UK it is associated with the winter months, because it flowers at this time of year, and plants are offered for sale as gifts around the festive period.
