Lycopus virginicus
Herbe nord-américaine utilisée dans la médecine traditionnelle pour les conditions d'hyperthyroïdie, les palpitations cardiaques et l'anxiété. L'une des rares plantes ayant des preuves de réduction de l'activité thyroïdienne.
Bugleweed (Lycopus virginicus) is a North American herb traditionally used for hyperthyroid conditions, heart palpitations, and anxiety. Its primary active compounds include lycopine, rosmarinic acid, flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute to antithyroid, antiarrhythmic, and sedative effects. Evidence is limited (Level C) but supports its use in reducing thyroid activity and managing mild hyperthyroid symptoms.
Bugleweed's antithyroid action is primarily mediated by lycopine and rosmarinic acid, which inhibit thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and reduce TSH receptor activation, thereby decreasing thyroid hormone synthesis. Flavonoids and tannins contribute to anti-inflammatory and sedative effects, potentially modulating GABAergic pathways and reducing sympathetic outflow. The herb may also inhibit peripheral conversion of T4 to T3 and exert mild beta-adrenergic blockade-like effects, contributing to its antiarrhythmic and anxiolytic properties.
