Averrhoa bilimbi
Arbre tropical de la famille des Oxalidaceae utilisé en médecine malaise et caraïbe pour l’hypertension, le diabète et les affections cutanées.
Averrhoa bilimbi (bilimbi) is a tropical tree from the Oxalidaceae family, traditionally used in Malay and Caribbean medicine for hypertension, diabetes, and skin conditions. Its key active compounds include oxalic acid, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and vitamin C, which contribute to its antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, and antipyretic properties. Evidence level is C, indicating limited clinical or pilot studies.
The antihypertensive effect is attributed to flavonoid-induced vasodilation via nitric oxide pathway activation and mild diuretic action from saponins. Antidiabetic activity involves flavonoid-mediated inhibition of α-glucosidase and enhancement of insulin sensitivity. Antimicrobial effects are due to tannins and saponins disrupting microbial cell membranes, while oxalic acid contributes to antipyretic activity through prostaglandin synthesis inhibition. However, high oxalic acid content poses nephrotoxic risks by forming calcium oxalate crystals.
