Hibiscus surattensis
Prickly herb widespread in the tropical Old World used as a leafy vegetable and medicinally for respiratory conditions, wound healing, and urinary complaints.
Hibiscus surattensis is a prickly herb widely distributed in tropical regions, traditionally used as a leafy vegetable and for respiratory conditions, wound healing, and urinary complaints. Modern research indicates antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and diuretic properties, attributed to active compounds such as hibiscetin, gossypitrin, hibiscin, and vitamin C. With an evidence level of C, it is considered safe for culinary and medicinal use in moderate amounts.
The antioxidant activity of Hibiscus surattensis is primarily due to flavonoids like hibiscetin and gossypitrin, which scavenge free radicals and upregulate endogenous antioxidant enzymes. Anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. The diuretic action likely involves increased renal blood flow and inhibition of sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule, possibly via modulation of aquaporin channels. Wound healing is supported by enhanced collagen deposition and fibroblast proliferation, driven by vitamin C and polyphenolic compounds.
