Luffa cylindrica
TCM use of dried loofah fibers for joint pain and meridian obstruction.
Si Gua Luo, derived from dried fibers of Luffa cylindrica, is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to unblock meridians and alleviate joint pain. Its primary active compounds include cellulose, xylose, mannose, and the ribosome-inactivating protein luffin, which may contribute to anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
The anti-inflammatory actions of Si Gua Luo are attributed to its polysaccharide components (cellulose, xylose, mannose) which may modulate immune responses by inhibiting NF-κB pathway and reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Luffin, a type I ribosome-inactivating protein, exhibits potential immunomodulatory and anti-tumor activities by depurinating rRNA, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis. Additionally, the fibrous structure may provide a mechanical effect in promoting meridian flow, though this is not pharmacologically defined.
