Alpine Self-heal
Prunella vulgaris
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.
