Polygonum aviculare
Ubiquitous weed used across European, TCM, and Native American medicine for urinary stones, respiratory, and wound healing.
Polygonum aviculare (common knotgrass) is a widespread herb used traditionally in European, Chinese, and Native American medicine for urinary stones, respiratory complaints, and wound healing. Modern research indicates diuretic, expectorant, and astringent properties, attributed to flavonoids (avicularin, quercetin), caffeic acid, and silica. Evidence is limited (C) but supports its use for mild urinary tract support and as an adjunct in respiratory conditions.
The diuretic effect is mediated by avicularin and quercetin, which inhibit renal tubular Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase and increase glomerular filtration rate, promoting urine output. Expectorant action may involve quercetin's ability to reduce mucus viscosity and enhance ciliary clearance via modulation of epithelial sodium channels (ENaC). Astringent properties are due to tannins and silica, which precipitate proteins on mucosal surfaces, reducing inflammation and promoting wound healing. Silica also contributes to tissue repair by stimulating collagen synthesis.
