Rumex acetosa
European culinary and medicinal herb used in folk medicine for scurvy, fever, and digestive complaints. Rich in oxalic acid and vitamin C.
Sorrel herb (Rumex acetosa) is a European culinary and medicinal plant traditionally used for scurvy, fever, and digestive complaints due to its high vitamin C and oxalic acid content. Modern research indicates antioxidant, diuretic, laxative, and anti-inflammatory properties, though clinical evidence remains limited (Grade C). Key active compounds include oxalic acid, vitamin C, tannins, and anthraquinones.
The diuretic effect is attributed to oxalic acid and potassium salts, which increase urine output. Anthraquinones (e.g., emodin) stimulate colonic peristalsis via interaction with enteric neurons and prostaglandin pathways, producing a mild laxative effect. Tannins provide astringent and anti-inflammatory actions by precipitating proteins and reducing mucosal permeability. Vitamin C acts as a potent antioxidant, scavenging reactive oxygen species and supporting immune function.
