Chenopodium ambrosioides
Herbe annuelle aromatique d'Amérique centrale largement utilisée comme herbe culinaire et vermifuge à travers l'Amérique latine.
Chenopodium ambrosioides (epazote) is an aromatic annual herb native to Central America, traditionally used as a culinary herb and anthelmintic. Its primary modern uses include intestinal parasite treatment and digestive aid, with key active compounds including ascaridole, p-cymene, limonene, and various flavonoids and terpenes.
The primary anthelmintic action is attributed to ascaridole, a peroxide compound that generates reactive oxygen species, causing oxidative damage to parasitic worms. p-Cymene and limonene contribute to antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects via modulation of cytokine production and membrane disruption. Additionally, flavonoids may provide antioxidant and spasmolytic activity, supporting digestive function. However, ascaridole is also responsible for neurotoxicity at high doses, limiting its safe use.
