Malva neglecta
Low-growing mallow weed used in folk medicine identically to Malva sylvestris as soothing mucilaginous herb.
Malva neglecta (common mallow) is a low-growing herb used in folk medicine similarly to Malva sylvestris as a soothing mucilaginous remedy. Its primary uses include demulcent, anti-inflammatory, and mild laxative effects, supported by the presence of mucilage, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. Evidence is limited (Level C), but traditional use and preliminary studies suggest benefits for digestive irritation, cough, and topical skin inflammation.
The mucilage polysaccharides in Malva neglecta form a protective gel-like layer over mucous membranes, reducing irritation and inflammation in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. Flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, decreasing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, while phenolic acids (e.g., caffeic acid derivatives) provide antioxidant activity by scavenging reactive oxygen species. These combined actions contribute to its demulcent, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties.
