Elm-Leaved Sumac

Rhus coriaria, commonly known as sumac, is a plant traditionally used in various Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures for culinary purposes. While its traditional medicinal uses are not well-documented, scientific studies have shown that sumac supplementation may significantly impact several cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as lipid profiles, blood pressure, and insulin resistance, though the effects on all analyzed factors were not consistent. Additionally, 0.1% triamcinolone acetonide derived from Rhus coriaria has been found to reduce ulcer size and shorten healing time compared to some alternative treatments; however, it did not show a significant advantage in pain reduction or healing time over the placebo. In liver fibrosis studies, Rhus coriaria aqueous extract demonstrated antioxidant and antibacterial activity against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, though these findings are still preliminary. No major safety issues have been recorded for sumac, nor any significant drug interactions noted in current research.
