Heart-leaf Indian madder
Rubia cordifolia
Rubia cordifolia, also known as Indian madder or manjishtha, is a traditional plant primarily used in Ayurvedic and Unani medicine. While its specific uses are not extensively documented, it is traditionally believed to have various therapeutic properties including blood purifying, anti-inflammatory, and skin healing effects. Scientific evidence suggests that Rubia cordifolia has diverse pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, and hepatoprotective properties. Studies indicate potential benefits in modulating intestinal permeability and alleviating symptoms associated with ulcerative colitis through modulation of the IL-17A/IL-22-C/EBPβ-STAT3 axis. However, due to variations in phytochemical composition among different Rubia species, clinical interchangeability remains uncertain. Safety-wise, no significant adverse effects have been reported for Rubia cordifolia. There are currently no recorded drug interactions associated with its use.
