Tormentillae rhizoma - Review for an Underestimated European Herbal Drug
Traditional / reference
Abstract
Tormentil (Potentilla erecta) rhizome has been used since medieval times and has European pharmacopoeia and traditional-use monographs. This review summarises its phytochemistry and pharmacology, with ellagitannins as main ingredients, and concludes that in vitro and in vivo data support the traditional use for diarrhoea and mucosal inflammation.
