Guaiacum sanctum
Caribbean hardwood tree; similar medicinal uses to G. officinale; anti-inflammatory and diuretic.
Guaiacum sanctum, a Caribbean hardwood tree, is traditionally used for rheumatism and gout, with modern research indicating anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties. Its primary active compounds include guaiaretic acid, flavonoids, saponins, and terpenes, which contribute to its therapeutic effects. The herb is considered a mild analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent, though clinical evidence is limited.
Guaiaretic acid, a lignan constituent, inhibits 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase enzymes, reducing leukotriene and prostaglandin synthesis, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects. Flavonoids provide antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals and modulating NF-κB pathway, while saponins may contribute to diuretic action by increasing renal blood flow and sodium excretion. Additionally, terpenes may inhibit xanthine oxidase, lowering uric acid levels and supporting antirheumatic activity.
