Eriodictyon californicum
Buisson aromatique pérenne de chaparral californien aux feuilles collantes et fleurs blanches-bleutées, herb sacred des tribus de Californie.
Eriodictyon californicum, a sacred aromatic shrub of California chaparral, is traditionally used by Native American tribes for respiratory conditions such as colds, bronchitis, and asthma. Modern uses include its expectorant, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, as well as its ability to mask bitter tastes in pharmaceuticals, attributed to active compounds like eriodictyol, homoeriodictyol, flavonoids, tannins, resins, and volatile oils.
The expectorant action is mediated by flavonoids such as eriodictyol and homoeriodictyol, which stimulate bronchial secretion and reduce mucus viscosity via modulation of airway epithelial ion channels and inhibition of COX-2 and 5-LOX pathways, thereby decreasing inflammation. Antimicrobial effects arise from volatile oils and tannins disrupting bacterial cell membranes and inhibiting quorum sensing in respiratory pathogens. Antioxidant activity involves scavenging reactive oxygen species and upregulating endogenous antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase and catalase.
