Ficus religiosa
L'arbre d'illumination de Bouddha ; l'écorce et les feuilles sont utilisées en Ayurveda pour le diabète et les affections cutanées.
Ficus religiosa (sacred fig) is a tree revered in Ayurveda, traditionally used for diabetes and skin diseases. Its bark and leaves contain active compounds such as bergapten, sitosterol, tannins, and flavonoids, which contribute to its purported hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Modern research is limited (evidence level C) but suggests potential in blood sugar management and topical applications.
The hypoglycemic effects of Ficus religiosa are attributed to flavonoids and tannins that may inhibit α-glucosidase and α-amylase enzymes, reducing postprandial glucose absorption. Additionally, β-sitosterol and other phytosterols may modulate insulin signaling pathways and improve glucose uptake. The anti-inflammatory activity is linked to inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes, as well as suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IL-6. Wound healing is promoted through enhanced collagen synthesis and fibroblast proliferation, possibly due to tannins and phenolic compounds.
