Platycodon grandiflorus
East Asian bellflower root used in TCM and Korean Hanbang for respiratory conditions including cough, sore throat, and tonsillitis.
Platycodon grandiflorus (balloon flower root) is a traditional East Asian herb used in TCM and Korean medicine primarily for respiratory conditions such as cough, sore throat, and tonsillitis. Its key active compounds include platycodin D, polygalacin, platycosides, and platycodigenin, which contribute to its expectorant, anti-inflammatory, and immune-modulating effects. Evidence level C indicates limited clinical data supporting its use, though traditional use is extensive.
Platycodin D and other saponins stimulate airway mucus secretion via activation of vagal reflexes and direct irritation of gastric mucosa, leading to increased respiratory tract fluid. They also inhibit NF-κB and MAPK pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6. Additionally, platycodin D enhances macrophage phagocytosis and modulates Th1/Th2 balance, contributing to immune modulation.
