Loquat Leaf Tea: A Traditional Herbal Drink and What the Evidence Says
The plant shown in the image appears to be loquat (Eriobotrya japonica), a fruit tree whose leaves have been used traditionally in several cultures, including traditional medicine in Morocco and other Mediterranean regions.
Loquat leaves contain various naturally occurring plant compounds, including polyphenols and flavonoids. Researchers have investigated loquat leaf extracts for their potential effects on blood sugar and blood lipids, but most of the evidence comes from laboratory or animal studies rather than large clinical trials in humans.
