Cephalotus follicularis
Plante carnivore pitcher du sud-ouest de l'Australie; utilisée par les Aborigènes pour les troubles digestifs et les blessures.
Cephalotus follicularis is a carnivorous pitcher plant endemic to Southwest Australia, traditionally used by Aboriginal peoples for wound healing and digestive complaints. Modern research indicates its astringent and antimicrobial properties, attributed to tannins, flavonoids, and organic acids, support topical application for wound care and digestive support. Evidence is limited (Level C), primarily from preliminary studies and traditional use.
The tannins in Cephalotus follicularis act as astringents, precipitating proteins to form a protective layer on mucous membranes and wounds, reducing inflammation and exudation. Flavonoids contribute antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, while organic acids may exhibit antimicrobial activity against skin pathogens. These combined actions support tissue repair and digestive comfort when applied topically.
