Benoîte commune
Geum urbanum · Avens
Geum urbanum, commonly known as common avens, is a plant native to Europe and Asia. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented in any specific medical practices or traditions. Scientific studies have shown that Geum urbanum contains ellagitannins and other polyphenols which may offer potential benefits for lipid profiles. Additionally, extracts from the root and aerial parts of the plant have demonstrated inhibition of MRSA biofilm formation without significantly affecting bacterial growth. These findings also suggest possible activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, inhibiting biofilm formation, pyocyanin synthesis, and motility at sub-MIC concentrations. While no major safety issues or recorded drug interactions are currently known, further research is needed to fully understand its potential benefits and applications.
