Ail blanc
Allium neapolitanum · Naples garlic
Allium neapolitanum is a plant native to southern Italy. While its traditional medicinal uses are not well-documented, it has shown some promise in scientific research. Aqueous extracts from Allium neapolitanum exhibit higher affinity for beta(2) receptors compared to garlic, suggesting potential therapeutic applications. Additionally, the essential oil of this plant demonstrated moderate antimicrobial activity against various microorganisms and was favorably rated in sensory evaluations when compared to related species like A. roseum and A. triquetrum. The antioxidant activity of its leaves was particularly notable among different parts of the plant. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded, indicating that it is generally safe for use.
