Hypoxis hemerocallidea or African potato as it is better known in Southern Africa is a medicinal plant native to South Africa and is easily recognizable by its bright yellow star-shaped flowers and strap-like leaves. The African potato has a long history of medicinal use on the African continent and is currently being used in South Africa in primary health care as an immune booster for patients with HIV/AIDS. African Potato is beneficial in the treatment of Cancer, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy, Immunosuppression in Endurance Athletes, Diabetes, Pulmonary Tuberculosis and H.I.V.
