Oxalis corniculata
Common tropical weed used across Asia and Africa for fever, diarrhea, and wound healing.
Oxalis corniculata, a common tropical weed, is traditionally used for fever, diarrhea, wound healing, and scurvy. Its active compounds include oxalic acid, vitamin C, flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute to antipyretic, astringent, and antimicrobial effects. Evidence is limited (Grade C) and primarily based on traditional use and preliminary studies.
The antipyretic effect may involve inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis via COX enzymes, though direct evidence is lacking. Flavonoids and tannins provide astringent and antimicrobial actions by precipitating proteins and disrupting microbial cell membranes. Vitamin C supports wound healing through collagen synthesis and antioxidant activity. Oxalic acid may contribute to irritation and astringency but also poses a risk of calcium oxalate crystal formation in the kidneys.
