Artemisia genepi
Artemisia alpine utilisée dans les liqueurs digestives alpins et la médecine traditionnelle pour les maux de montagne.
Artemisia genepi is an alpine Artemisia species traditionally used in European mountain regions as a digestive bitter and liqueur ingredient, valued for its carminative and antimicrobial properties. Its primary active compounds include thujone, camphor, flavonoids, and sesquiterpenes, which contribute to its effects on digestion and mild central nervous system activity. Despite limited clinical evidence (Evidence Level C), it remains popular in folk medicine for colds, flu, and digestive complaints.
The herb's bitter principles (sesquiterpene lactones) stimulate bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs) on the tongue and gastric mucosa, increasing salivary and gastric acid secretion, thereby enhancing digestion. Thujone acts as a GABA-A receptor antagonist, which can produce mild CNS stimulation and, in excess, neurotoxic effects. Camphor and flavonoids contribute to antimicrobial activity by disrupting microbial cell membranes and inhibiting bacterial enzymes. The carminative effect is likely due to spasmolytic actions on gastrointestinal smooth muscle via calcium channel modulation.
