Asclepias tuberosa
A North American herb used for pleurisy and respiratory infections by many Native American nations; increases expectoration and has diaphoretic activity.
Pleurisy root (Asclepias tuberosa) is a North American perennial traditionally used by Native Americans for respiratory infections and pleurisy. It contains cardenolides, flavonoids, and resins that contribute to its expectorant, diaphoretic, and anti-inflammatory actions. Modern evidence is limited (Level C), but it is used for bronchitis, pleurisy, and fever management.
The cardenolides in Asclepias tuberosa inhibit Na+/K+-ATPase, which may enhance mucociliary clearance and stimulate cough reflex, while flavonoids and resins exert anti-inflammatory effects via COX and LOX inhibition. The diaphoretic action is thought to involve stimulation of sweat glands through mild thermogenic or cholinergic pathways. Additionally, viridiflorin may contribute to antimicrobial activity against respiratory pathogens.
