Smilax aspera
Prickly climbing vine of the Mediterranean with red berries, European sarsaparilla used for skin conditions.
Smilax aspera, known as European sarsaparilla, is a prickly Mediterranean vine traditionally used as a blood purifier for skin diseases. Modern evidence (Level C) supports its anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties, attributed to steroidal saponins (diosgenin, sarsaponin), flavonoids, and tannins.
The steroidal saponins, particularly diosgenin and sarsaponin, inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects. The diuretic action likely involves increased renal blood flow and inhibition of sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubules. Flavonoids contribute antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity via modulation of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways.
