Cymbopogon flexuosus
Espèce d'aujma indienne produisant un huile essentielle riche en citral ; utilisée en Ayurveda pour la fièvre, la digestion et comme antimicrobien.
East Indian lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) is a perennial grass rich in citral, geraniol, and other volatile compounds. It is traditionally used in Ayurveda for fever, digestive complaints, and as an antimicrobial. Modern research supports its antifungal, antibacterial, and insect-repellent properties, though clinical evidence remains limited (Evidence Level C). The essential oil is used topically and aromatically, but internal use requires caution due to potential toxicity.
The primary active compound, citral, disrupts microbial cell membranes and inhibits fungal ergosterol synthesis. Geraniol and limonene contribute to antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects by modulating NF-κB and COX-2 pathways. Myrcene exhibits sedative and analgesic properties via GABA-A receptor modulation. The herb's carminative action is attributed to volatile oil stimulation of gastrointestinal motility and reduction of gas formation.
