Euphorbia tithymaloides is a cool perennial succulent spurge which is an erect shrub, the plant is also known by its scientific name called Pedilanthus tithymaloides.

It’s very beautiful & the genus Pedilanthus has been submerged into the genus Euphorbia & is more correctly known generally by its new name.

It’s quite useful to human for the fact that tea brewed from the roots has been used as an abortifacient & the latex is used topically to treat calluses, ear ache, insect stings, toothache, skin cancer, umbilical hernias, ringworm & warts.

Note that none of these uses has been medically/scientifically verified as effective therefore consult your physician before use cos this is not a medical advice.

It’s free to use stock photo at will.
Thank you’ll & Steem On.
