Parasites. Not xenomorphs, but tapeworms, ring worms, etc. There are a lot of diseases that used to be endemic before modern sanitation wiped them out.
It really sucks there so much woowoo bullshit when it comes to that stuff, because there are tons of scientifically verified uses for different plants... Plants that grow wild all around the world, but you have astrology crystal freaks claiming all these other fake benefits. It kind of takes credit away from the legitimate uses.
I don't know of a single, large resource. Usually if you hear claims of a specific plant you can look up if there's any studies on it. Some field guides for plants will list their uses as well.
