Cydonia oblonga
Fruit de coing aromatique et graines utilisés dans la médecine populaire du Moyen-Orient et d'Europe pour la diarrhée, les affections respiratoires et cutanées.
Cydonia oblonga (quince) is a fruit-bearing plant whose seeds and fruit are used traditionally for their astringent, demulcent, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is primarily employed in Middle Eastern and European folk medicine for treating diarrhea, soothing respiratory and throat irritation, and as a skin emollient. Key active compounds include mucilage, pectin, tannins, and quercetin, which contribute to its therapeutic effects.
The mucilage and pectin in quince seeds form a protective gel-like layer on mucous membranes, providing demulcent and anti-inflammatory effects that soothe irritated tissues. Tannins act as astringents by precipitating proteins, reducing diarrhea and tightening skin. Quercetin exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions through inhibition of NF-κB and COX-2 pathways, while pectin may also modulate gut microbiota and slow glucose absorption. These combined mechanisms support gastrointestinal, respiratory, and topical applications.
