Prunus mahaleb
Mediterranean cherry whose wood and seeds are used in folk medicine for kidney stones and as flavoring.
Prunus mahaleb (Mahaleb cherry) is a Mediterranean tree whose bark and seeds are used in folk medicine for kidney stones and as a diuretic. Its primary active compounds include the cyanogenic glycoside prunasin, coumarin, tannins, and flavonoids. Modern evidence is limited (Level C), but it exhibits diuretic and antispasmodic properties.
The diuretic effect is attributed to flavonoids and coumarin, which may increase renal blood flow and inhibit tubular reabsorption of sodium and water. Coumarin also exhibits antispasmodic activity by modulating smooth muscle calcium channels and possibly through interaction with GABAergic pathways. Prunasin, a cyanogenic glycoside, can release small amounts of hydrogen cyanide, which at low doses may contribute to antispasmodic effects but poses toxicity risk at higher doses. Tannins provide astringent properties that may soothe urinary tract irritation.
