Article Synopsis
- Cyperus articulatus L. (priprioca) is traditionally used in the Amazon for its aromatic properties and medicinal benefits, particularly for treating inflammatory diseases using its rhizomes.
- This study explores the phytochemistry and the anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving (antinociceptive) effects of its essential oil (CAEO) through laboratory tests on cells and living mice.
- Results indicated that CAEO significantly reduced inflammatory markers in cell cultures and lowered leukocyte migration and pain responses in mice, highlighting its potential as a natural remedy for inflammation and pain.
