| Abstract (English): |
Plants used as food, seasoning or flavoring have been used by man since the beginning of times, many -perhaps all- have different medicinal uses, possibly due to secondary metabolites that they produce, mainly essential oils, among which are the following: anti-asthmatic, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, useful for blood circulation, muscle, kidney, nerve, disorders of the digestive, respiratory and urinary tracts, orfor the skin, and in strictly female ailments, etc. Briefly we describe the taste and smell senses, and 50 species are presented belonging to 23 botanical families. The mostly used organs are fruits, seeds and leaves, but there are other parts, in fresh or dried form. The spices must be employed in small amount because they are capable of irritate the gastric mucose, also they can produce diverse types of allergies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
Las plantas utilizadas como alimentos, condimentos o saborizantes se han usado por el hombre desde el principio de los tiempos, numerosas -si no todas- tienen variadas propiedades y diversas aplicaciones medicinales, quizá debidas a los metabolitos secundarios que elaboran fundamentalmente a los aceites esenciales y entre las que se encuentran antiinflamatorias, antiasmáticas, antisépticas, útiles en trastornos circulatorios, musculares, renales, nerviosos, de los aparatos digestivo, respiratorio o urinario, de la piel y en padecimientos propiamente femeninos, etcétera. En este artículo se describen de manera breve los sentidos del gusto y el olfato, así como 50 especies de vegetales pertenecientes a 23 familias botánicas. Los órganos mayoritariamente usados son los frutos, semillas y las hojas, aunque también las demás partes, frescas o secas. Las especias deben usarse en pequeña cantidad porque pueden irritar la mucosa gástrica o producir alergias de diversos tipos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
