Pimpinella anisum
Herbe culinaire et médicinale classique méditerranéenne et du Moyen-Orient utilisée depuis l'Égypte ancienne pour les troubles digestifs et comme expectorant.
Pimpinella anisum (anise) is a classic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern culinary and medicinal herb used since ancient Egypt for digestive conditions and as an expectorant. It is primarily employed for colic, bloating, and respiratory congestion, with key active compounds including trans-anethole, estragole, and flavonoids that contribute to its carminative, antispasmodic, and mild estrogenic effects.
Trans-anethole, the primary volatile constituent, exhibits spasmolytic activity by inhibiting calcium influx in smooth muscle, thereby reducing gastrointestinal and bronchial spasms. Estragole and pseudoisoeugenol may contribute to mild estrogenic effects via binding to estrogen receptors, while flavonoids provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions. The galactagogue effect is thought to involve stimulation of prolactin secretion or direct action on mammary tissue. Additionally, furocoumarins may cause photosensitivity in susceptible individuals.
