Rudbeckia laciniata
Woodland coneflower used by Cherokee for indigestion and fever; roots as food by some tribes.
Rudbeckia laciniata, commonly known as woodland coneflower, is a traditional Cherokee remedy for indigestion and fever, with limited modern evidence supporting its use as a digestive aid and antipyretic. Its active compounds include sesquiterpene lactones, flavonoids, and tannins, which may contribute to its purported anti-inflammatory and mild sedative effects.
The sesquiterpene lactones in Rudbeckia laciniata are thought to inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and reduce prostaglandin synthesis, providing antipyretic and anti-inflammatory actions. Flavonoids may act as antioxidants and mild smooth muscle relaxants in the gastrointestinal tract, while tannins can bind to mucosal proteins, potentially reducing diarrhea and soothing irritated gut lining. These combined effects likely underlie its traditional use for indigestion and fever, though formal receptor-binding studies are lacking.
