Thalia geniculata
Wetland Marantaceae of Americas and Africa; leaves used in folk medicine for wounds and skin conditions.
Thalia geniculata is a wetland plant from the Marantaceae family, traditionally used in the Americas and Africa for wound healing and skin conditions. Its leaves contain tannins, flavonoids, and mucilage, which contribute to astringent, anti-inflammatory, and demulcent properties. Modern applications include topical wound poultices and internal use as an antipyretic and diuretic.
Tannins in Thalia geniculata provide astringent effects by precipitating proteins, aiding wound contraction and reducing exudate. Flavonoids exhibit anti-inflammatory activity via inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, decreasing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Mucilage forms a protective barrier on mucous membranes, soothing irritation and promoting tissue repair. The diuretic effect may be mediated by flavonoids increasing renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate.
