Eucryphia cordifolia
Chilean rainforest tree whose flowers produce a distinctive honey with potent antibacterial properties; bark and flowers used in Mapuche medicine for wound healing and infections.
Ulmo (Eucryphia cordifolia) is a Chilean rainforest tree whose flowers produce a distinctive honey with potent antibacterial properties. Traditionally used by the Mapuche people for wound healing and infections, modern research indicates its bark and honey possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing activities, attributed to flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic acids such as chrysin and kaempferol.
The antibacterial activity of Ulmo honey is primarily due to its high content of methylglyoxal (MGO) and hydrogen peroxide, similar to Manuka honey, but also unique phenolic compounds that disrupt bacterial cell walls and inhibit biofilm formation. The flavonoids chrysin and kaempferol exert anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Tannins and phenolic acids provide astringent and antioxidant actions, scavenging free radicals and promoting wound contraction through modulation of fibroblast activity and collagen deposition.
