Bourdaine

Frangula · Buckthorn

Frangula is a plant traditionally not associated with any specific medicinal use. Studies have explored various plants for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, including Bryophyllum pinnatum and Kalanchoe gunniae, which showed significant effects in these areas; however, Frangula's specific efficacy has not been directly evaluated in such studies. A study on São Jorge Island documented 243 vascular plant taxa, with Frangula alnus among 46 species tested for anthelmintic activity, but the results did not conclusively determine its effectiveness against parasite larvae. Metabolomic profiles of several plants, including Frangula, were generated in another study, revealing species-specific metabolic patterns, though no specific findings related to Frangula's medicinal properties were reported. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for Frangula.
