Benincasa hispida
Courge asiatique utilisée en MTC et en Ayurveda pour les affections urinaires, ses propriétés rafraîchissantes et la gestion du poids.
Benincasa hispida, also known as winter melon or ash gourd, is a cucurbit used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda for its cooling, diuretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is commonly consumed as a fresh juice or in culinary preparations to support urinary health, manage edema, and aid weight management. Key active compounds include cucurbitacins, flavonoids, saponins, and beta-sitosterol, which contribute to its therapeutic effects.
The diuretic effect of Benincasa hispida is attributed to its high water and potassium content, along with saponins that may inhibit renal tubular reabsorption of sodium and water. Flavonoids and cucurbitacins exhibit anti-inflammatory activity by modulating COX-2 and NF-κB pathways. The blood sugar modulating effects are thought to involve inhibition of alpha-glucosidase and enhancement of insulin sensitivity, possibly via triterpenoids and polysaccharides. Additionally, its cooling property in TCM is associated with clearing heat and promoting fluid metabolism.
