Bush Tea

Lippia alba

Lippia alba,也称为白香蜂草或白柠檬香蜂草,是一种传统上在中美洲和南美洲发现的植物。尽管其在传统医学中的使用尚未广泛记录,但研究表明其提取物和精油具有潜在价值。科学证据表明,Lippia alba 可能具有抗病毒特性,特别是对抗登革热病毒,但需要进一步研究来证实这些结果。该植物还显示出抗菌、抗氧化、镇静和心血管相关活性,如各种植物化学研究中所报告的那样。在鸡身上,精油补充剂对与抗病毒途径相关的基因表达产生了适度影响,并降低了病毒载量而抗体滴度没有一致变化。此外,在雨季收集的Lippia alba 精油显示出略高的抗氧化活性和选择性抑制增殖作用,而干季收集的则不然。对于这种植物尚未记录任何主要的安全问题或已知药物相互作用,但建议进一步研究以全面了解其潜在益处和风险。
