Geranium maculatum
Plante vivace indigène d'Amérique du Nord à feuilles profondément divisées ; l'une des meilleures herbes astringentes utilisées par les peuples autochtones et les médecins éclectiques.
Cranesbill Geranium (Geranium maculatum) is a native North American perennial herb renowned for its potent astringent properties, attributed to a high tannin content (up to 28%). Traditionally used by Indigenous peoples for diarrhea, dysentery, and wound healing, it also exhibits antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. Key active compounds include tannins, gallic acid, ellagic acid, and flavonoids.
The high concentration of ellagitannins and other tannins provides strong astringent effects by precipitating proteins on mucosal surfaces, reducing permeability and fluid secretion in the gut. Gallic and ellagic acids inhibit NF-κB and COX enzymes, contributing to anti-inflammatory activity. Flavonoids disrupt bacterial cell walls and inhibit efflux pumps, enhancing antimicrobial effects. Additionally, the herb promotes wound healing through stimulation of fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition.
