Bistorta officinalis
Plante herbacée alpine d'Europe du Nord utilisée en médecine populaire comme astringent pour la diarrhée, la cicatrisation des plaies, et base du Dock Pudding dans le nord de l'Angleterre. Distinct du Persicaria bistorta.
Bistort (Bistorta officinalis) is a Northern European alpine herb traditionally used as an astringent for diarrhea and wound healing, and as a key ingredient in Dock Pudding. Its primary active compounds include tannins, quercetin, and oxalic acid, which contribute to its antidiarrheal, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Evidence is limited (Level C), primarily from traditional use and preliminary studies.
The antidiarrheal action is attributed to tannins that bind to proteins in the intestinal mucosa, forming a protective layer and reducing peristalsis. Quercetin exhibits anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase pathways, while also acting as an antioxidant by scavenging free radicals. Oxalic acid may contribute to astringency but also poses a risk for kidney stone formation in susceptible individuals. The high starch content provides a demulcent effect, soothing irritated tissues.
