Lovage

Levisticum officinale, commonly known as lovage, is a traditional plant with roots tracing back to various European and Mediterranean herbal practices. It has been used in folk medicine for its purported diuretic properties and as an aid in digestive issues, though specific traditional uses are not well-documented. Scientific evidence suggests that the dichloromethane extract of Levisticum officinale exhibits significant cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory effects on colorectal cancer cell lines without affecting non-cancerous cells. Additionally, molecular matrix characteristics have been used to identify adulterations in Angelica sinensis radix using extracts from Levisticum. Extracts from related plants like Rosmarinus officinalis and Salvia officinalis also showed high antioxidant activities when incorporated into cosmetic emulsions. A case series suggests that Arnica/Levisticum 6x comp. may alleviate musculoskeletal symptoms associated with endocrine therapy in breast cancer patients, though larger studies are needed to confirm these findings. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for Levisticum officinale.
