Boscia albitrunca
Petit arbre à feuilles persistantes des savanes sèches d'Afrique australe utilisé par les peuples San et Khoikhoi pour l'alimentation et la médecine, notamment comme substitut de café de racine et analgésique.
Boscia albitrunca is a small evergreen tree native to southern African dry savannas, traditionally used by San and Khoikhoi peoples as a root coffee substitute and for pain relief. Modern applications include analgesic, antipyretic, nutritive, and wound healing uses, attributed to active compounds such as glycosides, alkaloids, tannins, and fatty acids.
The analgesic and antipyretic effects are likely mediated by alkaloids and glycosides that inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes and modulate prostaglandin synthesis, reducing pain and fever. Tannins contribute to wound healing through astringent and antimicrobial actions, while fatty acids provide nutritive support. The root's coffee-like properties may involve mild central nervous system stimulation from alkaloids.
