Waltheria indica
Pantropical shrub used in traditional medicine across Hawaii, Africa, and the Caribbean for respiratory conditions, wound healing, and pain.
Waltheria indica is a pantropical shrub traditionally used in Hawaii, Africa, and the Caribbean for respiratory conditions, wound healing, and pain. Modern research indicates analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties, attributed to active compounds such as waltherione A, waltherione C, alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins. Evidence is limited (Grade C), primarily from in vitro and animal studies.
Waltherione A and C are thought to exert anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Flavonoids and tannins contribute antioxidant and antimicrobial actions, potentially disrupting bacterial cell walls and chelating metal ions. Analgesic effects may involve modulation of peripheral opioid receptors or transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, though specific pathways remain under investigation.
