Dodder Overview
Dodder is a parasitic plant that grows on other plants, taking water and nutrients from its host. It does not have leaves or roots of its own and appears as thin, yellow-orange, tangled vines. It can affect a wide range of plants including crops, vegetables, and ornamental plants. Dodder seeds are used in traditional medicine as a supplement. They are believed to have various health benefits, including boosting energy levels, improving blood circulation, and reducing inflammation. They are also used to treat conditions like weakness, fatigue, and impotence.
