Alcea rosea
Garden plant with flowers rich in mucilage used in European and Middle Eastern folk medicine for respiratory catarrh, sore throat, and urinary tract conditions.
Hollyhock (Alcea rosea) is a garden plant whose flowers are rich in mucilage, traditionally used in European and Middle Eastern folk medicine to soothe respiratory catarrh, sore throat, and urinary tract conditions. Modern evidence (Level C) supports its demulcent, anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and antitussive properties, attributed to compounds such as mucilage, anthocyanins, caffeic acid, and tannins.
The mucilage content forms a protective film over mucous membranes, reducing irritation and inflammation via physical barrier effects and potential modulation of prostaglandin pathways. Anthocyanins and caffeic acid exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes, while tannins provide mild astringent effects that may reduce secretions. These combined actions contribute to its antitussive and expectorant benefits in respiratory conditions.
