Sida (genus)
<p>The main medicinal species that has been studied is Sida acuta. However, as research has deepened on this species, other sidas are coming to light as similarly potent, particularly S. rhombifolia and S. cordifolia. Two other species, S. tiagii andS. spinosa, have not been studied as extensively, but their traditional uses, and some research, indicate they may possess the same medicinal actions.</p>
<p>Given the potency of some of this genus, it makes sense for more research to occur. As far as I can determine, little has been done along this line, but it may well be that many sidas contain similar constituents. If so, given their wide range, they would be one of the world’s most accessible systemic herbal antibacterials. <a href="http://tipsdiscover.com/health/systemic-herbal-antibiotics-sida/">Read more...</a></p>
