Selaginella lepidophylla
Desert spikemoss with remarkable desiccation tolerance; used in Mexican folk medicine for childbirth and fertility.
Selaginella lepidophylla, known as the resurrection plant, is traditionally used in Mexican folk medicine as a uterine tonic for difficult labor and fertility. Its remarkable desiccation tolerance is attributed to trehalose and other protective compounds, while flavonoids and caffeic acid derivatives contribute to its purported medicinal effects. Modern evidence is limited (Level C), with preliminary studies suggesting potential uterine stimulant and antioxidant activities.
The uterine stimulant effects are likely mediated by selaginellin and related compounds that may interact with oxytocin receptors or directly stimulate smooth muscle contraction in the uterus. Trehalose and flavonoids provide cellular protection against oxidative stress, potentially supporting tissue resilience during desiccation or labor. However, specific receptor-level mechanisms and pharmacokinetics remain poorly characterized in human studies.
