Gunnera tinctoria
Chilean rhubarb relative used by Mapuche people for tanning leather and treating digestive and liver conditions.
Gunnera tinctoria, a Chilean plant traditionally used by the Mapuche people, is employed for hepatoprotective and digestive support. Its primary active compounds include tannins, polyphenols, and flavonoids, which contribute to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Evidence is limited to preliminary studies and traditional use.
The hepatoprotective effects are attributed to polyphenols and flavonoids that scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation, thereby reducing oxidative stress in liver cells. Tannins may bind to and precipitate proteins in the gut, providing astringent and anti-diarrheal actions. Additionally, flavonoids can modulate phase I and phase II detoxification enzymes, enhancing hepatic clearance of toxins. The presence of oxalates may contribute to kidney stone formation in susceptible individuals.
