Madder is a feed plant for cattle; when eaten in large quantities, cows' milk turns red. Also in veterinary medicine, madder is used for urolithiasis.
The madder family (lat. Rubiaceae) is one of the largest among angiosperms. It includes 450-500 genera and 6000-7000 plant species that are distributed throughout the globe. Among the plants of this family there are different life forms: herbs, subshrubs, shrubs, vines and even trees.
The genus madder (lat. Rubia) has about 55 species of herbaceous plants, as well as subshrubs and shrubs. For medical purposes, 2 types of plants of this genus are used:
Madder (lat. Rubia tinctorum L.);
Georgian madder (lat. Rubia iberica (Fish. ex.DC). C. Koch).
Madder is a perennial herbaceous plant with a height of 30 cm to 1.5 meters. The rhizome of the plant is long, horizontal, branched, reddish-brown on the outside, orange-red on the inside. Adventitious roots extend from the nodes of the rhizome. Stems are tetrahedral, oppositely branched. On the edges of the stems there are large curved thorns, with the help of which madder clings to nearby plants. The leaves of the plant are located in whorls of 4-6 pieces. The leaves are lanceolate, shiny, and equipped with clinging spines along the edges and along the veins.

The fruit is a black drupe with 1-2 seeds. Madder blooms in June-August. Fruits in August-September.
Madder grows wild in Dagestan, Azerbaijan and other regions of the Caucasus, in the south of European Russia, in Crimea, and in Central Asia. Madder grows along river floodplains, along irrigation canals, like a weed in gardens, along hedges. The plant is not demanding on soil and has been introduced into industrial cultivation.
Regions of distribution on the map of Russia.
Madder rhizomes and roots are harvested for medicinal purposes. Medicinal raw materials are harvested in the fall after the above-ground part of the plant dies or in early spring before regrowth begins. The dug up rhizomes and roots are cleared of soil and quickly washed in cold water. The prepared raw materials are laid out in a thin layer and dried in the open air under canopies, in attics or in dryers at a temperature of 45-50ºС.
The main biologically active substances of madder are anthraquinones and their derivatives (5-6%): ruberythric acid, purpurin, haliosin, purpuroxanthin, ribiadin, alizarin, ibericin. Also, the rhizomes and roots of madder contain organic acids (citric, malic, tartaric), iridoids and flavonoids, sugar proteins, and pectins.
Citric and other acids and traces of alkaloids were found in the leaves of the plant. Young shoot tips contain the glycoside asperuloside.
Madder preparations have antispasmodic, diuretic and lilolytic properties. The rhizomes and roots of madder dissolve and promote the rapid removal of phosphates, oxalates and urates from the body. Madder reduces the tone and enhances peristalsis of the muscles of the renal pelvis and ureters, thereby promoting the movement of stones and their removal from the kidneys and urinary tract. Madder preparations help shift the pH of urine to the acidic side and loosen urinary stones containing calcium and magnesium phosphates.
Madder dye is most effective in the presence of stones of phosphate and oxalate nature. The mechanism of action is associated with interaction with salts (calcium phosphate) of biologically active compounds of madder. The urine of patients after taking madder preparations turns red and pink due to the content of alizarin and ruberythric acid. If the urine turns red-brown, then treatment with madder preparations is stopped.
Madder does not have a significant effect on the cardiovascular system; causes an increase in tone and increased intestinal contractions, and has a moderate bactericidal effect against the coccal group of microbes.
There is evidence of the use of madder preparations for pyelonephritis, cystitis, gout, cholelithiasis, and urinary tract spasms accompanying prostate adenoma and prostatitis.
Madder roots are hepatocarcinogenic due to the presence of lucidin and other anthraquinone derivatives. The risks of their use are considered to outweigh the benefits. There is evidence that lucidin is a potent carcinogen, as is its metabolite 1-hydroxyanthraquinone. They experimentally cause the formation of benign and malignant tumors of the stomach, intestines and liver. Therefore, the rhizomes and roots of madder are not used in their pure form.
Madder is widely used in folk medicine for the treatment of urolithiasis and cholelithiasis.
Madder is also used in the treatment of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, constipation, jaundice, bedwetting, polyarthritis, dropsy, gout.
An infusion of rhizomes treats inflammation of the spleen and is used for menstrual irregularities. The plant is used as an adjuvant in the treatment of bone tuberculosis. Fresh juice is used for rickets and dysmenorrhea. Madder is used externally to lighten age spots, to treat ringworm, and ulcers.
To remove rashes on the face, an ointment is prepared from crushed madder rhizomes and fat; for bruises, madder rhizomes mixed with an egg are used.
In ancient times, rhizomes and roots of madder were valued by artisans of Rome, Greece, Persia, and Egypt. A permanent red dye was obtained from the roots of the plant. In those days, madder was almost the only plant that was used to dye cotton, wool and silk fabrics.
Later, madder roots were also widely used in the textile industry. In Russia, the Free Economic Community established a gold medal and a cash prize for the development of new varieties of madder that are distinguished by their persistent dyeing properties.
The beneficial medicinal properties of madder have also been known since ancient times. Avicenna believed that madder “cleanses the liver and spleen” and prescribed preparing a drink from the roots of the plant, sweetened with honey water, and taking it in the treatment of the sciatic nerve, paralysis, and loss of tissue sensitivity. Also, a drink was prepared from madder fruits, vinegar and honey, used for an enlarged spleen.
