Rue

Rue is a genus of perennial herbs and shrubs known for their aromatic leaves and bright yellow flowers. Traditionally used in medicine and cooking, especially in Mediterranean regions, rue contains compounds that can have medicinal effects but also pose risks if misused. It is sometimes employed in herbal remedies for digestive issues or to promote menstruation. However, due to its potency and potential toxicity, rue should be used with caution and under guidance from knowledgeable sources. Its distinctive scent and appearance make it easily recognizable in herbal gardens and natural medicine practices.
