Apigenin in Traditional Chinese Medicine

Apigenin has been known for centuries in Chinese traditional medicine, with various plants rich in this compound being used for their therapeutic properties. In many cultures around the world, people have experienced the powerful effects of apigenin-rich plants and passed this knowledge down from generation to generation.

One of the best-known examples is the use of chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) in traditional medicine. Chamomile is a plant that naturally contains high levels of apigenin and has long been used for its soothing, anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. Traditional healers in many cultures use chamomile to treat a wide range of conditions.

In addition to chamomile, other plants such as parsley (Petroselinum crispum) and celery (Apium graveolens) are also used in traditional medicine because of their high apigenin content. These plants have been used for centuries for their supposed health benefits. The rich tradition of using apigenin-containing plants in traditional medicine has brought a valuable source of knowledge, which has helped scientists to this day.
