Cucumis sativus
Légume courant dont la chair, les graines et la peau ont été utilisés en médecine populaire pour refroidir la peau, traiter les brûlures solaires et les affections rénales.
Cucumis sativus (cucumber) is a widely consumed vegetable with traditional folk uses for skin cooling, sunburn relief, and kidney support. Modern research indicates potential anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and antioxidant activities attributed to compounds such as cucurbitacins, flavonoids, silica, and potassium. Its primary modern applications include skin anti-inflammatory and diuretic support, though evidence remains limited.
Cucurbitacins in Cucumis sativus inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory effects. Flavonoids like quercetin and kaempferol act as antioxidants by scavenging free radicals and modulating NF-κB signaling. Silica contributes to skin health by supporting collagen synthesis, while the high potassium content may promote mild diuresis through increased renal water excretion.
