Litchi chinensis folium
Lychee tree leaves used in Chinese and Southeast Asian folk medicine for diarrhea and skin conditions.
Lychee leaf (Litchi chinensis folium) is a traditional remedy in Chinese and Southeast Asian medicine, primarily used for diarrhea and skin conditions. Modern research indicates antidiarrheal, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, attributed to flavonoids, tannins, quercetin, kaempferol, and ellagic acid. Evidence is limited (Level C), with most data from pilot studies and traditional use.
The antidiarrheal effect is mediated by tannins that bind to intestinal proteins, reducing peristalsis and fluid secretion. Flavonoids like quercetin and kaempferol inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), contributing to anti-inflammatory activity. Antimicrobial action involves disruption of bacterial cell membranes and inhibition of efflux pumps, particularly against enteric pathogens. Ellagic acid may further modulate gut microbiota and reduce oxidative stress.
