Fraxinus excelsior
Majestic European forest tree whose bark and leaves are used in folk medicine for rheumatism, fever, and as a laxative.
Fraxinus excelsior (European ash) is a majestic tree whose bark and leaves are used in European folk medicine for rheumatism, gout, fever, and as a mild laxative. Its primary active compounds include the coumarins fraxin and esculin, the sugar alcohol mannitol, and tannins, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and laxative properties. Modern evidence supports its use as a mild laxative and diuretic, though clinical data remain limited.
The coumarin glycosides fraxin and esculin exhibit anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Mannitol, a non-absorbable sugar alcohol, exerts an osmotic laxative effect by drawing water into the intestinal lumen, increasing stool bulk and promoting bowel movements. The diuretic action is attributed to increased renal blood flow and inhibition of tubular reabsorption, possibly mediated by flavonoids and coumarins. Tannins provide mild astringent effects, which may reduce inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.
