Matricaria chamomilla L: propriedades farmacológicas

Abstract

<jats:p>Introdução: A Matricaria chamomilla L., mais conhecida como camomila, vem sendo bastante utilizada na medicina popular devido suas consideráveis propriedades farmacológicas, como efeito anti-inflamatório, antioxidante, antimicrobiano e leve efeito sedativo. A camomila é muito utilizada sob a forma de infusões, com sabor agradável e aromático. Objetivo: Tendo em vista as várias finalidades e efeitos farmacológicos, objetivou-se neste trabalho realizar uma revisão de literatura acerca das propriedades farmacológicas da Matricaria chamomilla L. Metodologia: Essa busca foi realizada em artigos disponíveis nas bases de dados MEDLINE, Lilacs, PUBMED, BVS e monografias que atendiam aos requisitos do estudo em questão, no período de 2008 a 2018, revisando um total de 48 estudos. Discussão: Estudos demonstraram que a camomila é útil para tratamento da dor de estômago, síndrome do intestino irritável e insônia, além de possuir atividades bactericida e relaxante. A atividade antibacteriana dessa planta foi avaliada contra bactérias gram-negativas e os resultados comprovaram o efeito antibacteriano através dos principais componentes do óleo essencial, além dos flavonoides, ácidos fenólicos e ácidos graxos. Na Odontologia, sua efetividade é demonstrada através de sua ação benéfica contra gengivite, haja vista suas propriedades antimicrobianas e anti-inflamatórias. Conclusão: De acordo com a literatura, a Matricaria chamomilla L. apresenta efeitos antimicrobiano, antifúngico, antioxidante, anti-inflamatório e ansiolítico, os quais são explicados pelos componentes dos seus extratos, fazendo com que esta planta apresente grande importância clínica. Entretanto, mais estudos clínicos precisam ser realizados para enriquecer o conhecimento a respeito desta planta, de forma a ampliar o seu uso como medicamento fitoterápico.Descritores: Fitoterapia; Plantas Medicinais; Farmacologia; Matricaria.ReferênciasSeverino VGP, Felixa MA, Silva MFGF, Lucarini R, Martins CHG.

Indicadores de bem-estar de novilhas Jersey criadas em sistema de semiconfinamento e confinamento com e sem fornecimento de homeopático

“…O uso do homeopático pode ter reduzido o estresse, pois observou-se 66% menos de vocalização de sua ocorrência para o grupo tratado nas análises semanais e 82% ao fim de cada período experimental. Estudos já evidenciaram a ação ansiolítica das propriedades da camomila em humanos (Santos et al, 2019), assim como o uso de Ignatia amara quando comparado ao uso de medicamentos alopáticos contribui mais efetivamente para tranquilizar o sistema nervoso (Meerschaut & Sünder, 2009).…”

Avaliação do uso tradicional e comércio de plantas medicinais e fitoterápicos no município de Resende, RJ: Uma contribuição para o desenvolvimento da Política Nacional de Plantas Medicinais e Fitoterápicos no Sul Fluminense

“…A espécie produz flavonoides, sesquiterpenos e cumarinas. Estudos sugerem que um ou mais de seus flavonoides produzidos podem gerar a atividade ansiolítica e a espécie pode ser empregada como antidepressivo (Santos, et al, 2019;Keefea, et al, 2016). Já o sesquiterpeno alfa-bisabolol confere propriedades antiinflamatória e analgésica à camomila (Santos, et al, 2019).…”
