Populus balsamifera
Poplar d'Amérique du Nord avec des bourgeons résineux très parfumés ; les bourgeons utilisés par les peuples indigènes et les herboristes pour les affections respiratoires et les douleurs.
Balsam Poplar (Populus balsamifera) is a North American tree whose fragrant resinous buds have a long history of traditional use by Indigenous peoples for respiratory conditions, pain, and wound healing. Its primary active compounds include salicin, populin, chrysin, galangin, and balsamic resins, which contribute to expectorant, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. Evidence is limited (C) but supports its use as an expectorant and topical analgesic, though clinical data remain sparse.
Salicin, a phenolic glycoside, is metabolized to salicylic acid, which inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis and providing analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Populin and balsamic resins act as expectorants by stimulating bronchial secretions and reducing mucus viscosity. Flavonoids such as chrysin and galangin exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity through inhibition of NF-κB and modulation of cytokine release, while also contributing to antimicrobial effects against respiratory pathogens.
