Euryale ferox
Plante aquatique des étangs asiatiques dont les graines sont utilisées dans la médecine traditionnelle chinoise et l'Ayurveda comme tonique pour les reins et aliment nutritif.
Euryale ferox (fox nut) is an aquatic plant whose seeds are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda as a kidney tonic and nutritive food. Modern research indicates antioxidant, kidney-supportive, and digestive tonic properties, attributed to compounds such as kaempferol, quercetin, starch, proteins, and saponins. It is commonly consumed as a decoction or food at 10-15 g daily.
The flavonoids kaempferol and quercetin in Euryale ferox seeds exert antioxidant effects by scavenging reactive oxygen species and upregulating endogenous antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase and catalase. Saponins may modulate inflammatory pathways via inhibition of NF-κB and COX-2, while the high starch and protein content provide demulcent and nutritive actions that support digestive mucosal integrity. In TCM, the herb is believed to tonify kidney qi and astringe essence, potentially through modulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and reduction of oxidative stress in renal tissues.
