Cunila origanoides
Herbe annuelle aromatique des bois de forêt nord-est des États-Unis, liée au thym, remède traditionnel des Amérindiens contre la grippe.
Cunila origanoides (American dittany) is a perennial aromatic herb in the Lamiaceae family, traditionally used by Cherokee and other Native American tribes for fevers, colds, and as an emmenagogue. Its primary bioactive compounds include carvacrol, thymol, and terpinene, which confer antimicrobial, diaphoretic, and mild analgesic properties. Modern evidence is limited (Level C) but supports its traditional applications for respiratory infections and digestive support.
Carvacrol and thymol activate TRPV3 and TRPA1 channels, promoting diaphoresis and mild analgesia, while inhibiting COX-2 and 5-LOX enzymes to reduce prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, contributing to antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects. Flavonoids like luteolin and apigenin provide antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. The emmenagogue effect is attributed to uterine smooth muscle stimulation via calcium channel modulation and prostaglandin pathway activation.
