Sorbus aucuparia
European mountain rowan tree with bright red berries used in folk medicine for vitamin C, diarrhea, and urinary conditions.
Sorbus aucuparia (rowan) is a European tree whose berries and leaves are used in traditional medicine for their astringent, diuretic, and nutritive properties. The berries are rich in vitamin C, flavonoids (quercetin, catechins), and contain parasorbic acid which is toxic when raw but rendered safe by cooking or drying. Modern uses include antioxidant support, mild diarrhea relief, and as a vitamin C supplement.
The astringent action is mediated by tannins (catechins) that bind to proteins in the intestinal mucosa, reducing permeability and fluid loss. Flavonoids like quercetin exhibit antioxidant activity via scavenging free radicals and inhibiting lipid peroxidation. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) supports immune function and collagen synthesis. Parasorbic acid, a lactone, is converted to the non-toxic sorbic acid upon heating or drying, eliminating its irritant effect on the gastric mucosa.
