Abstract

Cvijet primorskog smilja (Helichrysum italicum) i ostali nadzemni dijelovi biljke predstavljaju bogat izvor bioaktivnih sekundarnih metabolita koji su posljedica prilagodbe biljke na izazovne uvjete u kojima raste. Iako je danas zbog karakterističnog mirisa popularno u parfemskoj industriji, a zahvaljujući antioksidativnim i regenerativnim svojstvima dobro poznato kao sastojak anti-age kozmetike te proizvoda za njegu i revitalizaciju kože, primorsko smilje se u tradicionalnoj medicini koristi u tretiranju rana, ožiljaka, hematoma i upalnih stanja kože te terapiji bolesti dišnog i probavnog sustava. U posljednje vrijeme sve je češće predmet znanstvenih istraživanja kojima je dokazano protuupalno, antimikrobno i antioksidativno djelovanju ove mediteranske biljke i time opravdana tradicionalna uporaba. Navedena istraživanja otvaraju mogućnosti primjene smilja i u indikacijama koje nisu dio narodne medicine.

Abstract (english)

The flowers of immortelle (Helichrysum italicum), as well as the other aerial parts of the plant, are a rich source of bioactive secondary metabolites that are synthesized as a result of the plant's adaptation to the challenging growing environment. Although nowadays it is popular in perfume industry due to its characteristic scent and owing to its antioxidant and regenerative properties it is a well-known ingredient in anti-age cosmetics, skin care and revitalization products, in traditional medicine immortelle is used in the treatment of wounds, scars, hematomas, and inflammatory skin conditions as well as in therapy of respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders. Recently, it has been the subject of scientific research which has proved the anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant action of this Mediterranean plant and thus justified its traditional use. New findings open the possibility of using immortelle for the new indications that are not part of folk medicine.
