Lepidium sativum
Fast-growing cress used across Europe and Middle East for iron-rich nutrition, digestive stimulation, and respiratory conditions.
Lepidium sativum (garden cress) is a fast-growing herb widely used in European and Middle Eastern traditional medicine as a nutrient-dense food and remedy. It is primarily valued for its iron content to support anemia, as a digestive stimulant and appetite tonic, and as an expectorant for respiratory conditions. Key active compounds include glucosinolates, vitamin C, iron, and rutin, which contribute to its nutritional and therapeutic properties.
The glucosinolates in Lepidium sativum are hydrolyzed by myrosinase to isothiocyanates, which may stimulate digestive secretions and act as mild irritants to promote expectoration. The high iron content supports erythropoiesis and addresses iron-deficiency anemia. Rutin, a flavonoid, provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways. Additionally, glucosinolates can interfere with thyroid iodine uptake, potentially exacerbating hypothyroidism.
