Prunus spinosa
Thorny European shrub producing sloe berries used in folk medicine for diarrhea, sore throat, urinary conditions, and as sloe gin.
Prunus spinosa (blackthorn) is a European shrub whose berries and flowers are used in traditional medicine as an astringent for diarrhea and sore throat, and as a mild diuretic. Key active compounds include tannins, flavonoids, chlorogenic acid, and trace cyanogenic glycosides, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Despite limited clinical evidence, it remains a popular herbal remedy in European folk medicine.
The astringent action of Prunus spinosa is primarily due to tannins, which precipitate proteins and reduce mucosal permeability, thereby decreasing fluid loss in diarrhea. Flavonoids and chlorogenic acid exert anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, while also scavenging free radicals to provide antioxidant protection. Trace cyanogenic glycosides may offer mild antispasmodic activity, but their presence requires caution due to potential cyanide toxicity at high doses.
