Prunus padus
European Rosaceae tree whose bark and berries are used in folk medicine for digestive complaints and fever.
Prunus padus (bird cherry) is a European tree from the Rosaceae family, traditionally used for fever, digestive complaints, and cough. Its bark and berries contain active compounds such as prunasin (a cyanogenic glycoside), quercetin, rutin, and tannins, which contribute to its antipyretic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Evidence level C indicates limited clinical studies support these uses.
The antipyretic effect may involve inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes and reduction of prostaglandin synthesis, similar to salicylates. Tannins provide astringent action by binding to proteins in the gut mucosa, reducing diarrhea and inflammation. Quercetin and rutin act as antioxidants and inhibit histamine release, contributing to anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects. The cyanogenic glycoside prunasin can release small amounts of hydrogen cyanide upon hydrolysis, which may exert antimicrobial activity but also poses toxicity risks.
