Eysenhardtia polystachya
A Mexican folk herb used for kidney stones, urinary infections, and as a fluorescent beverage.
Palo Azul (Eysenhardtia polystachya) is a Mexican folk remedy traditionally used for kidney stones and urinary tract infections, with modern applications as a diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial agent. Its primary active compounds include coumestrol, formononetin, and other flavonoids, which contribute to its therapeutic effects. Despite limited clinical evidence (Level C), it remains popular in traditional medicine for its lithotriptic and anti-inflammatory properties.
The diuretic and lithotriptic effects of Palo Azul are attributed to flavonoids such as formononetin and coumestrol, which inhibit renal tubular reabsorption and promote urine output. Its anti-inflammatory activity involves modulation of COX-2 and NF-κB pathways, reducing prostaglandin synthesis. Antimicrobial actions are linked to disruption of bacterial cell membranes and inhibition of quorum sensing. The compound colicin may also contribute to its antimicrobial spectrum.
