Marrubium vulgare radix
Root of horehound used in European and North African folk medicine for liver and digestive conditions.
White Horehound Root (Marrubium vulgare radix) is a traditional European and North African herb used primarily for hepatoprotective and digestive bitter tonic effects. Its key active compounds include marrubiin, flavonoids, and volatile oils, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory and cholagogue actions. Modern evidence supports its use in liver conditions and as a digestive stimulant.
Marrubiin, a diterpene lactone, stimulates bitter taste receptors (T2R) on the tongue and gastrointestinal tract, leading to increased gastric acid secretion and bile flow via vagal reflexes. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting NF-κB and COX-2 pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Flavonoids provide antioxidant hepatoprotection through free radical scavenging and upregulation of glutathione S-transferase. Additionally, alkaloids may exert mild cardiotonic effects, but this requires caution in patients with cardiac conditions.
