The medicinal benefits of selfheal (Prunella vulgaris)
Selfheal (Prunella vulgaris) is a native British
plant, found among short grass on waste ground, grassland and open spaces in
woodland, where it raises its closely packed heads of bright purple flowers.
Creeping stems spread the plant over wide areas, so that the flowers often carpet
the ground along dry, grassy banks. The flowers are arranged around terminal
spikes, but do not open at the same time, resulting in an extended flowering period,
from June to September.
Selfheal has
been used as a medicinal plant for centuries, often as an astringent, and was
identified as the herb used by Dioscorides, the ancient Greek physician, to
cure inflammation of the throat and tonsils. Its common name stems from its
popularity as a plant used according to the old belief in the “Doctrine of signatures”,
whereby a plant’s medicinal use to mankind was gauged by aspects of its
appearance. In the case of Selfheal, the mouth-like structures of its flowers
led to it being used as a remedy for sore throats and mouth ulcers.
The plant is still
used extensively in Traditional Chinese medicine, and recent research has suggested it may also have
anti-mutagenic properties, indicating a possible treatment for certain cancers.
Other studies have shown it to possess a wide variety of pharmacological
effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, astringent, and
antimicrobial.
A number of
antiviral studies of P. vulgaris extracts have been carried out and compounds
active against both HIV and Herpes
Simplex Virus have been identified. In particular, a sulphated polysaccharide
named prunellin was found to inhibit HIV-1 replication in vitro, as well as
being able to arrest cell to cell transmission of the virus, with relatively
low cytoxicity.
Experiments
conducted on rats into its immunomodulatory effects demonstrated an inhibition
of passive anaphylaxis activated by IgE antibodies, and also inhibition of
histamine release from mast cells. Interestingly, it was also discovered that
the immunomodulatory effects of P. vulgaris seemed to act synergistically with
its anti-viral effects. These combined properties suggest that it has great
potential as a treatment for both viral infections and immunological disorders.
