Asclepias syriaca
Fougère de la famille des Asclepiades nord-américaine; jeunes pousses comestibles; racine utilisée par les Amérindiens pour les affections pulmonaires et cutanées.
Asclepias syriaca, commonly known as milkweed, is a North American plant with traditional use for respiratory and dermatological conditions. Its young shoots are consumed as a nutritive food, while the root is employed as an expectorant and topical anti-inflammatory. Key active compounds include cardenolides, flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute to its pharmacological effects.
The expectorant action is attributed to cardenolides and saponin glycosides that stimulate bronchial secretions and mucociliary clearance. Flavonoids and tannins provide anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Cardenolides also inhibit Na+/K+-ATPase, which may contribute to cardiac effects at high doses. Topical application may reduce skin inflammation through antioxidant and astringent properties.
