Petit tombé, Herbe à mouches

Leucas aspera · Common leucas

Leucas aspera is a plant traditionally used in various folk medicine practices, particularly in India and parts of Southeast Asia. While its specific traditional uses are not well-documented, it has been studied for its potential medicinal properties. Scientific evidence suggests that extracts from Leucas aspera have shown promising results in vitro, including antibacterial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic effects. Additionally, green-synthesized chitosan-doped zinc oxide nanocomposites using the plant's leaf extract demonstrated significant antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory activities, and wound-healing potential. However, these findings are preliminary, and further clinical studies are needed to validate these results in human subjects. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been reported for Leucas aspera; however, caution should be exercised until more comprehensive research is conducted.
