Adiantum venustum - evergreen maidenhair by Guy William Eves
Adiantum venustum, commonly known as the Maidenhair Fern, is a delicate fern native to the Himalayas. Though not as widely used in herbal medicine as other ferns, it has been traditionally valued for its ability to promote relaxation and soothe the respiratory system. In some regions, it has been used in remedies to treat coughs and colds. In folklore, ferns are often seen as symbols of protection. They were believed to bring good luck and ward off negative energy.
