Monarda didyma
Fleur native nord-américaine brillante rouge utilisée par le peuple Oswego pour le thé après la Première Chambre de Boston et pour les usages respiratoires et antiseptiques.
Monarda didyma, commonly known as bergamot or Oswego tea, is a North American perennial herb traditionally used by Native Americans for respiratory infections and as a tea substitute. Modern research supports its antimicrobial and expectorant properties, attributed to volatile oils such as thymol and carvacrol, along with rosmarinic acid and flavonoids. It is also used for digestive complaints and as a mild antiseptic.
The antimicrobial activity of Monarda didyma is primarily due to thymol and carvacrol, which disrupt bacterial cell membranes and inhibit microbial growth. These compounds also exhibit anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. The expectorant action is mediated through stimulation of bronchial secretions via transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, particularly TRPA1 and TRPV1. Rosmarinic acid contributes antioxidant effects by scavenging free radicals and modulating NF-κB pathway.
