Study of the anti-inflammatory effect of Sedum praealtum (Siempreviva) in the rat: dose-dependent response.
The results obtained suggest that the siempreviva has an anti-inflammatory effect and that the response was dose-dependent. The lyophilized siempreviva, at the doses used in this study, is not toxic.
