Cyclopia genistoides
Aromatic South African fynbos shrub producing sweet honeybush tea used for respiratory, menopausal, and antioxidant support.
Honeybush (Cyclopia genistoides) is a South African fynbos shrub traditionally used as a sweet, aromatic tea for respiratory and menopausal support. Modern research highlights its antioxidant, phytoestrogenic, and anti-inflammatory properties, attributed to compounds such as mangiferin, isomangiferin, hesperidin, and luteolin. With an evidence level of C, it is commonly consumed as a tea or standardized extract for general wellness.
Honeybush exhibits antioxidant activity primarily through mangiferin and hesperidin, which scavenge free radicals and upregulate endogenous antioxidant enzymes via Nrf2 pathway activation. Its phytoestrogenic effects are mediated by isomangiferin and luteolin, which bind to estrogen receptors (ERβ > ERα), potentially modulating menopausal symptoms. Anti-inflammatory actions involve inhibition of COX-2 and NF-κB signaling, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Additionally, the polyphenolic content supports respiratory health by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in airway tissues.
