Eleocharis dulcis
Aquatic sedge corm used as food and TCM herb to clear heat, resolve phlegm, and benefit eyes; crisp texture.
Water chestnut (Eleocharis dulcis) is an aquatic sedge corm traditionally used in TCM to clear heat, resolve phlegm, and benefit eyesight. Modern research indicates antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities, attributed to compounds such as puchiin, isoscutellarein, and tannins. It is commonly consumed fresh or cooked as a cooling food for digestive heat conditions.
The anti-inflammatory effects of water chestnut are mediated through inhibition of NF-κB and COX-2 pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Its antioxidant activity involves scavenging free radicals via phenolic compounds like isoscutellarein, which upregulate Nrf2 and enhance endogenous antioxidant enzymes. Antimicrobial actions are linked to puchiin and tannins disrupting bacterial cell membranes and inhibiting quorum sensing. The high starch and mineral content supports digestive health by providing prebiotic fiber and electrolytes.
