Melilotus officinalis
Aromatic clover relative used in European folk medicine for vascular insufficiency and lymphedema, source of coumarin.
Melilot (Melilotus officinalis) is an aromatic clover relative traditionally used in European folk medicine for venous insufficiency and lymphedema. Its primary active compounds include coumarin, melilotoside, and flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol, which contribute to its venotonic, anti-inflammatory, and mild anticoagulant properties.
The venotonic effects are attributed to coumarin and its metabolites, which increase venous tone and reduce capillary permeability. Anti-inflammatory actions involve inhibition of leukotriene and prostaglandin synthesis via modulation of lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase pathways. The anticoagulant activity arises from coumarin's interference with vitamin K metabolism, though the herb contains precursors to dicoumarol, which can form in damaged or moldy plant material. Additionally, flavonoids like quercetin and kaempferol provide antioxidant and anti-edematous effects.
