Bloodroot

Sanguinaria, commonly known as bloodroot, originates from North America and has a long-standing tradition in Native American herbal medicine. Traditionally, it was used for various purposes such as skin treatments and as an expectorant, though specific uses are not well-documented. Scientific evidence suggests that sanguinarine, a key component of Sanguinaria, may have potential therapeutic benefits. Studies indicate that sanguinarine can improve cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury in mice by reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, and cellular damage. Additionally, it has shown antimicrobial properties against Staphylococcus aureus, affecting membrane integrity and IGPD activity, as well as modulating key signaling pathways in lung and colorectal cancer cells. Safety findings are generally positive with no major issues recorded; however, the limited data precludes definitive conclusions. There are currently no reported drug interactions associated with Sanguinaria use.
