Nénuphar blanc
Nymphaea alba · European Water-lily
Nymphaea alba, commonly known as white water lily, originates from traditional medicine practices in Europe and parts of Asia. Traditionally, it has not been extensively used for medicinal purposes, with limited historical records indicating its use primarily for aesthetic or ornamental reasons rather than therapeutic applications. Scientific studies have shown promising results but are largely preliminary. Research indicates that green-synthesized Nymphaea alba-based SPIONs with Gd incorporation may enhance magnetic hyperthermia efficiency and exhibit selective cytotoxicity towards prostate cancer cells, suggesting potential in targeted cancer therapies. Additionally, gold-coated nanodiamonds derived from the root extract of Nymphaea alba have shown promise as radiosensitizers. Furthermore, flower extracts have demonstrated potential for wound healing by promoting cell migration and regulating key proteins involved in tissue repair; however, more extensive research is required to confirm these findings. Safety profiles for Nymphaea alba appear favorable with no major issues recorded. There are currently no reported drug interactions associated with this plant.
