Pinguicula vulgaris
Alpine and Arctic carnivorous herb; leaves used in Nordic folk medicine for wound healing and skin conditions.
Pinguicula vulgaris, an alpine and Arctic carnivorous herb, has a traditional Nordic use for wound healing and skin conditions, primarily applied topically as a fresh leaf poultice. Its active compounds include mucilage, tannins, flavonoids, and naphthoquinones, which contribute to soothing, astringent, and antimicrobial effects. Modern evidence is limited (Level C), supporting its use for minor wounds and chapped skin, but internal use is contraindicated.
The mucilage content forms a protective film over wounds, promoting moist wound healing and reducing transepidermal water loss. Tannins and flavonoids provide astringent and anti-inflammatory actions by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, while naphthoquinones (e.g., plumbagin) exhibit antimicrobial activity against skin pathogens via disruption of bacterial cell membranes and inhibition of electron transport. These combined actions support tissue repair and reduce infection risk.
