Herbal medicines as diuretics: a review of the scientific evidence.
There is increasing interest in the health and wellness benefits of herbs and botanicals. This is with good reason as they might offer a natural safeguard against the development of certain conditions and be a putative treatment for some diseases. One such area may be the lowering of blood pressure in those where it is elevated (i.e., hypertension). One class of clinical medicines used to lower blood pressure are known as diuretics and work by increasing the excretion of urine from the body as well as the amount of sodium in urine. There are a growing number of studies purporting diuretic effe

Equisetum giganteum L. (E. giganteum), Equisetaceae, commonly called "giant horsetail," is an endemic plant of Central and South America and is used in traditional medicine as diuretic and hemostatic in urinary disorders and in inflammatory conditions among other applications. The chemical composition of the extract EtOH 70% of E. giganteum has shown a clear presence of phenolic compounds derived from caffeic and ferulic acids and flavonoid heterosides derived from quercitin and kaempferol, in addition to styrylpyrones.
PubMed: 26290676Effect of Aqueous Extract of Giant Horsetail (Equisetum giganteum L.) in Antigen-Induced Arthritis.
Equisetum giganteum is a plant used in traditional medicine as diuretic. From our knowledge this is the first time this plant is tested in an in vivo model of acute inflammation. To evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of giant horsetail (AEGH) as immunomodulatory therapy, antigen-induced arthritis (AIA) was generated in mice with methylated bovine serum albumin (mBSA). Inflammation was evaluated by articular nociception, leukocytes migration and lymphocyte proliferation. AEGH reduced nociception at 3, 6 and 24 h (P < 0.01), decreased leukocyte migration (P < 0.015), and inhibited lymphocyte
PubMed: 24494034Identification of phenolic compounds in Equisetum giganteum by LC-ESI-MS/MS and a new approach to total flavonoid quantification.
Equisetum giganteum L., commonly called "giant horsetail", is an endemic species of Latin America. Its aerial parts have been widely used in ethnomedicine as a diuretic and in herbal medicine and food supplements as a raw material. The phenolic composition of E. giganteum stems was studied by liquid chromatography coupled to diode array detection (LC-DAD) and liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS), which identified caffeic acid derivatives, flavonoids and styrylpyrones. The most abundant glycosilated flavonoids in this sample were kaemp

INTRODUCTION: The genus Equisetum (Equisetaceae) is cosmopolitan in distribution, with 41 recognized species. Several species of Equisetum are widely used in treating genitourinary and related diseases, inflammatory and rheumatic problems, hypertension, and wound healing in traditional medicine practices worldwide. This review intends to present information on the traditional uses, phytochemical components, pharmacological activities, and toxicity of Equisetum spp. and to analyze the new insights for further study. METHODS: Relevant literature has been scanned and collected via various electro
PubMed: 37207877Seguridad y Precauciones
El uso de Equisetum giganteum conlleva riesgos significativos que deben ser evaluados con rigor clínico. En el caso de mujeres embarazadas o en periodo de lactancia, el uso de esta planta está estrictamente contraindicado. Debido a su potente efecto diurético, el consumo de la planta puede provocar una deshidratación materna y un desequilibrio electrolítico (pérdida de sales esenciales como sodio y potasio), lo cual es crítico para el desarrollo fetal y la producción de leche. No existen estudios que garanticen la seguridad del paso de sus compuestos al feto o al lactante, por lo que la precaucción debe ser absoluta. En niños menores de 12 años, el uso no es recomendable debido a que sus sistemas renales y metabólicos están en desarrollo; la administración de dosis que podrían ser seguras para un adulto pueden resultar tóxicas para un infante, especialmente por la alteración de la homeostasis de minerales. Respecto a las interacciones farmacológicas, el mecanismo de acción diurético de la planta puede potenciar de forma peligrosa los efectos de los antihipertensivos (como los inhibidores de la ECA o bloqueadores de canales de calcio), aumentando el riesgo de hipotensión severa.
