Acmella paniculata
A tropical relative of the toothache plant used in Amazonian medicine for pain, immunity, and as a culinary green.
Jambu (Acmella paniculata) is a tropical herb from the Asteraceae family, traditionally used in Amazonian medicine for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and immunostimulant properties. Its primary active compound, spilanthol, is responsible for the characteristic tingling and numbing sensation, while scopoletin and phenolic acids contribute to its antimalarial and antioxidant effects. Modern research supports its use as a local anesthetic for oral pain and as a general immune tonic, though clinical evidence remains limited.
Spilanthol, the major alkylamide, activates TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels, leading to initial tingling followed by desensitization and local anesthesia. It also modulates cytokine production, enhancing immune responses via NF-κB pathway inhibition. Scopoletin exhibits antimalarial activity by inhibiting heme polymerization and reducing oxidative stress in infected erythrocytes. Vanillic and trans-ferulic acids contribute anti-inflammatory effects through COX-2 and LOX inhibition, as well as free radical scavenging.
