Potentilla reptans
Perenne rampant des prairies européennes ; les racines sont utilisées en médecine populaire comme astringent pour la diarrhée et la cicatrisation des plaies.
Cinquefoil (Potentilla reptans) is a creeping perennial herb whose roots are traditionally used in European folk medicine as an astringent for diarrhea and wound healing. Its primary active compounds include tannins, ellagitannins, flavonoids, and phenolic acids, which contribute to its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Evidence level C supports its modern uses for wound healing, inflammation, and microbial infections.
The astringent action of cinquefoil is primarily due to tannins and ellagitannins, which precipitate proteins and form a protective layer on mucous membranes, reducing permeability and fluid loss in diarrhea. Flavonoids and phenolic acids exert anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, thereby reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Antimicrobial activity is attributed to phenolic compounds disrupting bacterial cell walls and inhibiting microbial enzymes. Topical application promotes wound healing through enhanced collagen deposition and reduced oxidative stress.
