Aloysia citrodora
Arbuste aromatique originaire d'Amérique du Sud, largement cultivé pour ses feuilles intensément citronnées utilisées à des fins digestives, calmantes et antioxydantes.
Aloysia citrodora, commonly known as lemon verbena, is an aromatic shrub native to South America, widely used for its digestive, calming, and antioxidant properties. Its primary active compounds include verbenalin, citral, and flavonoids, which contribute to its spasmolytic, anxiolytic, and anti-inflammatory effects. Evidence from limited clinical studies supports its traditional use for digestive disorders and anxiety.
The essential oil components, particularly citral and limonene, modulate GABA-A receptors, contributing to anxiolytic and sedative effects. Iridoid glycosides such as verbenalin and hastatoside exhibit anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting COX-2 and NF-κB pathways. Flavonoids provide antioxidant effects via free radical scavenging and upregulation of endogenous antioxidant enzymes. Additionally, the herb demonstrates spasmolytic activity on smooth muscle, likely through calcium channel blockade and anticholinergic mechanisms.
