Brunelle commune
Prunella vulgaris · Alpine Self-heal
Prunella vulgaris, commonly known as self-heal or woundwort, is a traditional herb with roots in various folk medicine practices. It has been traditionally used for treating wounds and skin conditions but lacks specific documented uses in other areas of traditional medicine. Scientific evidence suggests potential benefits for liver health, particularly in alleviating alcoholic liver injury by reducing lipid levels and inflammation. Additionally, TCM compound prescriptions containing Prunella vulgaris have shown promise in managing symptoms associated with Graves' disease (GD) patients, potentially improving thyroid and immune-related indicators with fewer adverse reactions compared to Western medicine treatments. In animal studies, Xia Ku Cao Paste derived from this plant improved hyperlipidemia by regulating gut microbiota and metabolic pathways. A pectic polysaccharide obtained at room temperature also demonstrated effectiveness in mitigating alcohol-induced liver damage in mice. No major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been identified to date.

Ce que dit la science
- Les prescriptions de composés TCM ont montré un potentiel pour réduire les scores des syndromes TCM et améliorer les indicateurs thyroïdiens et immuno-logiques chez les patients atteints de GD, avec moins d’effets secondaires comparativement à la médecine occidentale.
- Le pommade de Xia Ku Cao a amélioré l'hyperlipidémie en régulant le microbiote intestinal et la métabolisme des acides gras chez les rats.
- Un nouveau polysaccharide de Prunella vulgaris a montré des effets significatifs pour atténuer les dommages au foie dus à l'alcool en réduisant les niveaux de lipides et l'inflammation.
- Cette étude a montré que l'arabinoglycané de Prunella vulgaris obtenu à température ambiante améliore le dommage hépatique induit par l'alcool chez les souris.
