Verveine bleue
Stachytarpheta jamaicensis · Brazilian-tea
Stachytarpheta jamaicensis, commonly known as blue verbena or common bugloss, is a plant native to tropical and subtropical regions. While its traditional medicinal uses are not well-documented, studies have shown promising results in various areas. The methanol extract of Stachytarpheta jamaicensis leaves demonstrated antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibitory properties, though the evidence for these effects is limited by the small number of studies conducted. Additionally, a dichloromethane extract exhibited significant antiplasmodial activity in mice at 200 mg/kg dose, indicating potential benefits against malaria. The bio-oil derived from the plant showed strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties as well. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded for Stachytarpheta jamaicensis to date.
