The Latin name Convolvulus pluricaulis isn’t much harder to pronounce than the common name of this perennial herb (it’s also called aloe weed). All parts of the herb are thought to possess therapeutic benefits, and they are used in Indian and Chinese traditional medicine for chronic cough, sleeplessness, epilepsy, anxiety, and more. It’s primarily used to help support memory. It is thought to possess antistress, antidepressant, antianxiety, antioxidant, and even analgesic properties, but not much scientific investigation has been conducted into the effectiveness of this herb as compared to other more commonly known ones. Even so, some studies have shown that it is effective in reducing stress.
