Heliconia bihai
Caribbean and South American Heliconiaceae; leaves used as wound dressing; bark as folk febrifuge.
Heliconia bihai, a member of the Heliconiaceae family native to the Caribbean and South America, is traditionally used for wound healing, fever reduction, and skin conditions. Its leaves are applied as poultices, while the bark is prepared as a febrifuge tea. Key active compounds include flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids, which contribute to its antimicrobial and antipyretic properties.
Flavonoids and tannins in Heliconia bihai exhibit astringent and antimicrobial actions, promoting wound contraction and reducing microbial load. Alkaloids may inhibit prostaglandin synthesis or modulate cytokine release, contributing to antipyretic effects. Additionally, tannins can precipitate proteins, forming a protective layer over wounds and reducing inflammation.
