Prunella vulgaris spica
TCM uses the flower spike as Xia Ku Cao for liver fire and thyroid conditions; cooling and anti-inflammatory.
Heal All Spica (Prunella vulgaris) is a cooling herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine primarily for liver fire conditions, thyroid swelling, and hypertension. Its key active compounds include rosmarinic acid, ursolic acid, and flavonoids, which contribute to anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antihypertensive effects. Evidence is limited (Grade C) but supported by preliminary clinical and pharmacological studies.
Rosmarinic acid and ursolic acid inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects. The herb also modulates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) via angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, contributing to antihypertensive activity. Additionally, Prunella vulgaris exhibits antiviral activity by interfering with viral entry and replication, possibly through binding to viral glycoproteins. Its thyroid-modulating effects are attributed to regulation of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor signaling and reduction of thyroid autoantibodies.
