Tradescantia virginiana
Native North American perennial with blue-violet flowers; used by various Indigenous peoples for stomach complaints, cancer sores, and insect bites.
Spiderwort (Tradescantia virginiana) is a North American perennial herb traditionally used for gastrointestinal complaints, insect bites, and as a poultice for sores. Modern research suggests antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and demulcent properties attributed to its flavonoids, anthocyanins, mucilage, and tannins. Evidence is primarily anecdotal and from preliminary studies (Level C).
The mucilage content provides a soothing demulcent effect on mucous membranes, while tannins contribute mild astringency. Anthocyanins and flavonoids exhibit antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals and may inhibit pro-inflammatory enzymes such as cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX). These actions support traditional uses for stomach irritation and topical inflammation.
