Berula erecta
CAUTION: Aquatic European herb sometimes confused with water hemlock; edible parts historically used as food in extreme circumstances in northern folk use.
Berula erecta, commonly known as hemlock water dropwort or lesser water parsnip, is an aquatic European herb historically used as a famine food and for mild wound healing. Its active compounds include flavonoids, polyacetylenes, and phenolic acids, which contribute to its potential antioxidant properties. However, due to its resemblance to the highly toxic Cicuta virosa (water hemlock), internal use is strongly discouraged without expert botanical identification.
The antioxidant activity of Berula erecta is attributed to its flavonoid and phenolic content, which may scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation. Polyacetylenes present in the plant have demonstrated antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects in preliminary studies, potentially through modulation of NF-κB and COX-2 pathways. However, comprehensive pharmacological data are lacking, and most mechanisms are inferred from related species.
