Goeppertia allouia
Plante caribéenne portative aux légumes utilisés en médecine folklorique pour problèmes digestifs.
Calathea allouia (Goeppertia allouia), commonly known as lerén or Guinea arrowroot, is a Caribbean tuber-bearing plant in the Marantaceae family traditionally used as a nutritive food and digestive aid. Its tubers provide starch, minerals, vitamins, and flavonoids, which contribute to its mild prebiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Modern uses include general digestive support and convalescent nutrition.
The starch in Calathea allouia tubers acts as a prebiotic, fermenting in the colon to produce short-chain fatty acids that support gut barrier integrity and modulate immune function. Flavonoids present, such as quercetin and kaempferol derivatives, may inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing intestinal inflammation. Additionally, the mineral content (e.g., potassium, magnesium) supports electrolyte balance and smooth muscle function in the gastrointestinal tract.
