Puya chilensis
Large Chilean bromeliad whose sap and flower stalks are used in Andean traditional medicine.
Puya chilensis is a Chilean bromeliad whose sap and flower stalks are traditionally used in Andean medicine for wound healing. Its primary active compounds include saponins, flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute to antimicrobial and astringent properties. Modern research suggests potential for topical wound care, though evidence remains limited to pilot studies.
The wound-healing effects are attributed to saponins that may stimulate collagen synthesis and fibroblast proliferation, while flavonoids provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions via inhibition of COX-2 and LOX pathways. Tannins contribute astringency, promoting tissue contraction and reducing exudate. Antimicrobial activity is likely due to saponin-mediated membrane disruption and flavonoid interference with bacterial enzyme systems.
