Herbe couresse
Peperomia pellucida · Clearweed
Peperomia pellucida, a plant native to Central and South America, has not been traditionally used for any specific medicinal purposes. Scientific studies have shown some potential benefits, including antidepressant-like effects from its ethanol extract, which increased sucrose preference and reduced oxidative stress in mice. The aqueous extract demonstrated stronger anti-inflammatory activity than the methanolic extract, while an ethanol extract also exhibited antibacterial properties against fish pathogens. Regarding hypoglycemic effects, a reduction of 14.7-35.8% in blood glucose levels was observed in rats, though these results were not statistically significant. No major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been identified for this plant.
