Myrica esculenta
Evergreen tree found in the Himalayan foothills used in Ayurvedic and folk medicine of Nepal and India for digestive, respiratory, and nervous system conditions.
Myrica esculenta, an evergreen tree native to the Himalayan region, is traditionally used in Ayurvedic and folk medicine for digestive, respiratory, and nervous system disorders. Its primary active compounds—myricitrin, taraxerol, and alpha-amyrin—confer anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antispasmodic properties. Modern research supports its use for fever, diarrhea, cough, and headache, though evidence remains limited (Level C).
The anti-inflammatory effects of Myrica esculenta are mediated through inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Myricitrin, a flavonoid, also suppresses NF-κB activation and downregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6). Antimicrobial activity is attributed to phenolic acids disrupting bacterial cell membranes, while antispasmodic effects involve calcium channel blockade and modulation of smooth muscle contraction. Taraxerol and alpha-amyrin contribute to hepatoprotective and antioxidant actions via upregulation of Nrf2 and scavenging of reactive oxygen species.
