“…A. olleracea is very useful in folk medicine for the treatment of diseases in the mouth, throat, and teeth, rheumatism, anemia, and influenza, among others, because of bioactive compounds such as spilanthol (de Freitas‐Blanco et al, 2019; Neves et al, 2019). The chemesthetic sensation in the oral mucosa after consumption of the plant is due to the presence of alkylamides, represented by a high concentration of spilanthol, which is responsible for its analgesic and anti‐inflammatory effects (Dallazen et al, 2018; de Freitas‐Blanco et al, 2019). Certain in vivo and in vitro studies have described the anti‐inflammatory and antinociceptive effects of the extract obtained from A. oleracea or isolated spilanthol, and enhanced wound contraction in the skin of rats (Dallazen et al, 2020; Huang, Huang, Hu, Peng, & Wu, 2019; Cho, Bach, Kim, Vuong, & Cho, 2017; Yamane et al, 2016; Nomura et al, 2013).…”
