Turnera ulmifolia
Shrub of Caribbean and tropical Americas with bright yellow flowers, traditional medicine across the region.
Turnera ulmifolia, a shrub native to the Caribbean and tropical Americas, is traditionally used for respiratory and digestive conditions. Its primary active compounds include flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and caffeic acid, which contribute to its expectorant, digestive, anti-inflammatory, and mild sedative properties. Evidence is limited (Level C), with most support from traditional use and preliminary studies.
Flavonoids (e.g., apigenin, luteolin) may modulate GABA-A receptors, contributing to mild sedative effects. Saponins and tannins are thought to stimulate respiratory secretions, providing expectorant action. Caffeic acid and other phenolic compounds exhibit anti-inflammatory activity via inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, as well as antioxidant effects. Additionally, bitter principles in the plant may enhance digestive function through reflex stimulation of gastric secretions.
