Aristolochia trilobata, commonly known as contribo[citation needed] or Bejuco de Santiago,[2] is a perennial herb in the Dutchman's pipe family Aristolochiaceae.
[citation needed] In traditional folk medicine, the whole plant is used to create a tea or an extract.
[citation needed] It has been commonly used to treat conditions such as flu, gastritis, parasites, fevers, constipation, stomach ache, and indigestion.
[4] Some herbalists in Belize claim that it is harder to find an abundance of A. trilobata due to habitat destruction.
[citation needed] However, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) most recently (December 2020) assessed the status of A. trilobata as "Least Concern (LC)".
