Gossypium herbaceum
Plante de coton asiatique et africaine dont la bark de racine est utilisée en Ayurveda et en médecine folklorique comme émanagogue, tonique utérin et lactogogue.
Cotton root bark (Gossypium herbaceum) is a traditional herbal remedy used primarily as an emmenagogue and uterine tonic, with historical applications in menstrual regulation and labor induction. Its key active compounds include gossypol, quercimeritrin, beta-sitosterol, and flavonoids, which contribute to its uterine stimulant and galactagogue properties. Evidence for its efficacy is limited (Level C), and professional guidance is required due to significant safety concerns.
The uterine stimulant effects are attributed to gossypol, which inhibits prostaglandin synthesis and directly stimulates uterine smooth muscle contraction via calcium-dependent pathways. Flavonoids and quercimeritrin may modulate estrogen receptor activity, contributing to emmenagogue and galactagogue actions. Gossypol also exhibits anti-fertility effects in males by inhibiting sperm motility and spermatogenesis through disruption of mitochondrial function and enzyme inhibition.
