Daucus carota
Ancêtre sauvages de la carotte cultivée utilisée en médecine populaire européenne comme diurétique, stimulant digestif et contraceptif.
Daucus carota (wild carrot) is the ancestral species of the cultivated carrot, traditionally used in Greek and Cherokee medicine as a diuretic, digestive carminative, and contraceptive. Modern research indicates diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, attributed to compounds such as daucosterol, luteolin, quercetin, and carotol. Evidence level C reflects limited clinical data, primarily from pilot studies and traditional use.
The diuretic effect is thought to involve increased renal blood flow and inhibition of tubular reabsorption, possibly mediated by flavonoids like luteolin and quercetin that inhibit Na+/K+/2Cl- cotransport. Anti-inflammatory actions are linked to inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) by daucosterol and carotol, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Antioxidant activity is due to free radical scavenging by phenolic compounds, particularly quercetin, which upregulates Nrf2 pathway and enhances glutathione peroxidase activity. The abortifacient effect is attributed to carotol and other sesquiterpenes that stimulate uterine smooth muscle contraction via oxytocin receptor sensitization and increased intracellular calcium.
