Persicaria bistorta
Plante européenne des rives des cours d'eau avec rhizome enroulé, utilisée depuis des siècles contre la diarrhée, pour la cicatrisation des plaies et les affections inflammatoires de l'intestin.
Bistort root (Persicaria bistorta) is a traditional European astringent herb, primarily used for diarrhea and inflammatory bowel conditions due to its high tannin content (15-20% gallotannins). Its key active compounds include tannins, gallic acid, and flavonoids, which provide astringent, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing actions. Evidence is limited to traditional use and small clinical studies, placing it at evidence level C.
The high concentration of hydrolyzable tannins (especially gallotannins) in bistort root exerts a strong astringent effect by precipitating proteins on mucosal surfaces, forming a protective layer that reduces permeability and fluid secretion in the gut. This action, combined with inhibition of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways by flavonoids and gallic acid, decreases inflammation and diarrhea. Additionally, tannins bind to bacterial toxins and promote wound contraction by cross-linking collagen fibers in topical applications.
