Acmella oleracea<\/i>, an important medicinal plant<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

After you identified it I surfed the net and found this information (from Wikipedia<\/a>)
\nAcmella oleracea<\/i>, also known under its old names Spilanthes oleracea<\/i> and Spilanthes acmella<\/i> and commonly referred to as Spilanthes Extract, is a flowering herb in the plant family Asteraceae<\/i><\/span><\/a>, also known astoothache plant<\/b> or paracress<\/b> as the leaves and flower heads contain an <\/span>analgesic<\/span><\/a> agent <\/span>spilanthol<\/span><\/a> used to numb toothache.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It is native to the tropics of <\/span>Brazil<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>where it is called Jambu<\/b>, and is grown as an ornamental (and occasionally as a medicinal) in various parts of the world.<\/div>\n
A small, erect plant, it grows quickly and sends up gold and red flower inflorescences. It is frost-sensitive but perennial in warmer climates.<\/span>
\nMedical uses and effects<\/u><\/div>\n
A decoction or infusion of the leaves and flowers is a <\/span>traditional remedy<\/span><\/a> for <\/span>stammering<\/span><\/a>, toothache, <\/span>stomatitis<\/span><\/a>,[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> and throat complaints.[citation needed<\/span><\/a><\/i>]<\/span><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
Acmella oleracea<\/i> extract has been tested against various yeasts and bacteria and was essentially inactive.[4]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
Acmella oleracea<\/i> has been shown to have a strong <\/span>diuretic<\/span><\/a> action in rats.[5]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
Spilanthes extract has been discovered to aid in saliva stimulation (sialogogue) for people suffering from <\/span>dry mouth<\/span><\/a> (xerostomia).[citation needed<\/span><\/a><\/i>]<\/sup> Its properties provide relief to dry mouth by enhancing saliva production.[citation needed<\/span><\/a><\/i>]
\n<\/sup><\/span><\/span>Acmella oleracea<\/i> extract is reported to reduce muscle tension when applied topically, and as such it aids to decrease facial lines and wrinkles that are partially caused by tense or contracted facial muscles. Application of <\/span>Acmella extract is reported to result in more relaxed facial muscle, and in turn in a decrease of visible wrinkles, ageing lines, “crows feet”, and it has been used under the name of Gatuline\u00a0[5] as an non-injectable equivalent of Botox , thus without the toxic effects or the need to inject it under the skin; a cheap and easy to apply herbal Botox replacement. For culinary purposes, small amounts of shredded fresh leaves add a unique flavour to salads<\/span><\/div>\n

I am rally sorry that I have missed the words “it is eaten”. Please forget the earlier ID I have suggested. Info found in the net that one edible species is Acmella oleracea<\/i>. But I cannot say if it can be that one.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Going by images at\u00a0research\u00a0gate link<\/a>, it may be\u00a0Acmella calva<\/b>\u00a0<\/i>(DC.) R. K. Jansen\u00a0(syn:\u00a0\u00a0Spilanthes calva<\/i>\u00a0DC.)<\/p>\n

\n

We may take it as\u00a0Acmella<\/i>\u00a0oleracea\u00a0<\/i>as per discussions at\u00a0MS,Nov.,2023\/16 Acmella sp. for id<\/a><\/p>\n
