Juncus effusus
Wetland rush whose pith is used in TCM and Japanese Kampo to clear heat, calm the mind, and promote urination.
Juncus effusus, a wetland rush whose dried pith is used in TCM and Japanese Kampo, is traditionally employed to clear heat, calm the mind, and promote urination. Modern evidence (Level C) suggests mild diuretic, sedative, and anxiolytic effects, attributed to active compounds such as luteolin, phenolics, sterols, and fatty acids. Its clinical use is limited by low-quality studies, but it remains a gentle remedy for restlessness and urinary discomfort.
Luteolin, a major flavonoid, may exert sedative and anxiolytic effects through modulation of GABA-A receptors and inhibition of monoamine oxidase (MAO), increasing serotonin and norepinephrine levels. Phenolic compounds and sterols contribute to mild diuresis by enhancing renal blood flow and inhibiting the Na-K-2Cl cotransporter in the loop of Henle. Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions of phenolics further support its traditional use in clearing heat and reducing heart fire.
