Uncaria gambir
A Southeast Asian vine whose dried leaf extract is one of the most important traditional remedies for diarrhea in the region.
Gambir (Uncaria gambir) is a Southeast Asian vine whose dried leaf extract is traditionally used for diarrhea, sore throat, and wound healing, and is also employed in betel nut chewing. Its primary active compounds include catechins, epicatechin, gambiriine, and tannins, which contribute to its anti-diarrheal, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antihypertensive properties. Evidence is limited (Level C), with most data derived from pilot studies and traditional use.
The anti-diarrheal action is attributed to tannins and catechins that inhibit intestinal motility and reduce fluid secretion via modulation of opioid receptors and astringent effects on the gut mucosa. Antioxidant activity involves scavenging free radicals through catechins' polyphenolic structure. Antimicrobial effects are due to tannins and gambiriine disrupting bacterial cell walls and inhibiting microbial enzymes. Antihypertensive effects may involve inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and vasodilation via nitric oxide pathways.
