Knautia arvensis
European meadow herb used in folk medicine for skin conditions, fever, and respiratory conditions.
Knautia arvensis (field scabious) is a European meadow herb traditionally employed in folk medicine for skin diseases, fever, and respiratory conditions such as bronchitis and coughs. Its primary active compounds include caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute to anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and expectorant effects. Modern evidence is limited to preclinical and pilot studies, supporting its traditional uses.
The anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) by phenolic acids and flavonoids, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Antioxidant activity involves scavenging reactive oxygen species and upregulating endogenous antioxidant enzymes via activation of the Nrf2/ARE pathway. Expectorant action is attributed to saponin-induced mild gastric irritation, which reflexively increases bronchial secretion production and mucociliary clearance.
