Oxalis acetosella
Delicate woodland plant of the Northern Hemisphere used in European folk medicine as vitamin C source and digestive herb.
Wood Sorrel (Oxalis acetosella) is a delicate woodland herb traditionally used in European folk medicine as a rich source of vitamin C for preventing scurvy and as a mild digestive aid. Its primary active compounds include oxalic acid, vitamin C, potassium oxalate, malic acid, and flavonoids, which contribute to its antioxidant, mild diuretic, and cooling properties. Due to significant oxalate content, medicinal use is limited to small amounts, with caution advised for individuals prone to kidney stones or gout.
The antiscorbutic effect is primarily due to high vitamin C content, which acts as a cofactor for collagen synthesis and a potent antioxidant scavenging reactive oxygen species. Oxalic acid and potassium oxalate exert mild diuretic effects by increasing renal excretion of water and electrolytes, though high doses can lead to calcium oxalate crystal formation in the kidneys. Flavonoids such as quercetin and kaempferol contribute to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities via inhibition of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways.
