Alpinia calcarata
Alpinia sri-lankaise utilisée dans le Siddha et l’Ayurveda pour les affections respiratoires et les douleurs articulaires.
Alpinia calcarata, a rhizomatous herb from the Zingiberaceae family, is traditionally used in Siddha and Ayurveda for respiratory conditions (cough, bronchitis) and joint pain. Its key active compounds include terpinen-4-ol, 1,8-cineole, and flavonoids, which contribute to its expectorant, anti-inflammatory, and digestive stimulant properties. Evidence level C indicates limited clinical data supporting these uses.
Terpinen-4-ol exhibits anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting COX-2 and NF-κB pathways, while 1,8-cineole acts as a mucolytic and expectorant by stimulating bronchial secretion and reducing mucus viscosity. Flavonoids provide antioxidant effects and may modulate prostaglandin synthesis. Additionally, the essential oils stimulate digestive enzyme secretion and gastric motility via TRP channel activation.
