HARVEST PERIOD
PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL DATA AND APPLICATIONS
The vegetable jambu (Spilanthes oleracea) has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and diuretic properties. Its main components are spilanthol, a fatty acid amide (N-isobutylamides), stigmasteryl-3-O-b-D-glucopyranoside, and a number of triterpenes. The active ingredient spilanthol is proposed to be responsible for most of its biological activities. Spilanthol has a strong pungent taste; it may produce local astringency and anesthetic effects. Its economic potential includes its use in pharmaceuticals, as a nutritional supplement and beauty care cosmetics.
Topical application of the jambu extract can reduce muscle tension and decrease facial wrinkles, being used as a non-injectable, cheap, and easy-to-apply herbal Botox replacement; used in the treatment of rejuvenation; also with deodorizing properties and as a local anesthetic for depilation. It is reported to be an effective treatment for hair loss
