Achillea ligustica
Espèce de rayonnis méditerranéens utilisée en médecine italienne et grecque traditionnelle pour des indications similaires à celle du rayonnis commun.
Achillea ligustica, a Mediterranean yarrow species, is traditionally used for wound healing, fever, digestive disorders, and menstrual regulation. Modern research (evidence level C) supports its anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and diaphoretic properties, attributed to active compounds such as achillin, eugenol, borneol, camphor, luteolin, and apigenin. It is used as a dried herb (3–5 g daily) or tincture (2–4 mL daily), but safety concerns include contraindication in pregnancy and potential interactions with anticoagulants.
The anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, while flavonoids like luteolin and apigenin modulate NF-κB signaling. Antispasmodic activity involves calcium channel blockade and direct smooth muscle relaxation, likely via borneol and camphor. Diaphoretic action is attributed to stimulation of sweat glands through mild peripheral vasodilation, possibly involving eugenol and borneol. Achillin, a sesquiterpene lactone, contributes to bitter tonic effects on digestion and may exhibit mild antimicrobial activity.
