Sambucus nigra cortex
Écorce d'un arbre à l'Argentine, puissante pour les cas graves de diarrhée et rhumatisme.
Elder bark (Sambucus nigra cortex) is a potent purgative and diuretic herbal medicine, significantly stronger than the flowers or berries. Its primary active compounds include cyanogenic glycosides (e.g., sambunigrin), tannins, and flavonoids, which contribute to its strong laxative and fluid-expelling effects. Due to its toxicity, it is reserved for professional use only in small, controlled doses.
The purgative action of elder bark is primarily attributed to cyanogenic glycosides like sambunigrin, which release hydrocyanic acid upon hydrolysis, irritating the intestinal mucosa and stimulating peristalsis. The diuretic effect is mediated by flavonoids and resinous compounds that increase renal blood flow and inhibit sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule. Additionally, tannins provide mild astringent and anti-inflammatory actions by precipitating proteins and reducing mucosal permeability.
