Eryngo Overview
Eryngo, also known as Eryngium maritimum or sea holly, is a perennial herb that is native to coastal areas of Europe and North Africa. It is known for its spiky blue-gray leaves and thistle-like flowers.
In traditional medicine, the root of eryngo is most often used as a diuretic and anti-inflammatory agent. It has been used in the treatment of respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and kidney and bladder problems. It has also been used to alleviate pain during menstruation. The root contains several compounds such as eryngoside, eryngin and erythrodiol, all of which provide the plant's purported health benefits.
Eryngo is also used in the food industry, especially in pickling.
Larotrectinib Overview
-
Larotrectinib is used to treat a certain type of solid tumors in adults, children, and infants 4 weeks of age and older that have spread to other parts of the body or cannot be treated successfully with surgery. This medication is used only if there are no other treatments available and the tumors have worsened after receiving other treatments. Larotrectinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of the abnormal protein that tells the cancer cells to multiply. This may help slow the growth of tumors.
