Citrus medica
Espèce d’agrumes ancienne ; la pelure est utilisée en Ayurveda pour les troubles digestifs ; l’Etrog est utilisé pendant la fête juive du Sukkot.
Citrus medica (citron) is an ancient citrus species whose peel is traditionally used in Ayurveda for digestive complaints and in Jewish Sukkot rituals. It contains flavonoids (hesperidin), limonoids, and vitamin C, contributing to its antioxidant, antiemetic, and digestive tonic properties. Modern applications include supporting gastrointestinal health and reducing nausea, while historical uses extend to respiratory and fever management.
The primary mechanisms involve hesperidin and other flavonoids acting as antioxidants by scavenging free radicals and modulating inflammatory pathways (e.g., NF-κB). Limonoids exhibit antiemetic effects possibly via 5-HT3 receptor antagonism, while essential oils stimulate gastric secretions and peristalsis through TRP channel activation. Additionally, vitamin C supports immune function and collagen synthesis, and the peel's pectin may act as a prebiotic.
