Erlangea tomentosa
Traditional East African shrub used in Rwandan folk medicine for fever, malaria, and digestive conditions.
Erlangea tomentosa, known as Rwandan Imvaho Herb, is a traditional East African shrub used in folk medicine primarily for fever, malaria, and digestive conditions. Its pharmacological activity is attributed to sesquiterpene lactones, flavonoids, tannins, and alkaloids, with limited clinical evidence (Level C) supporting its antimalarial and antipyretic properties.
The antimalarial activity is thought to involve sesquiterpene lactones that inhibit Plasmodium falciparum growth by interfering with heme detoxification pathways. Flavonoids and tannins contribute to antipyretic effects via modulation of prostaglandin synthesis and antioxidant activity. The digestive bitter action likely stimulates gastric acid secretion and bile flow through activation of bitter taste receptors (T2Rs) on the tongue and gut, enhancing digestion.
