Abstract
El dolor se describe como aquella percepción sensorial localizada y subjetiva, que se siente en una parte del cuerpo, tras el resultado de una excitación o estimulación de las terminaciones nerviosas sensitivas; este proceso está asociado a la inflamación, ya que ésta es una reacción desencadenada por el organismo que conlleva un enrojecimiento de la zona, un aumento de su volumen y por tanto un aumento del umbral de dolor. Existen diversos tipos de dolor, así como clasificaciones de estos y tipos de escalas para medirlo. Para desarrollar el presente trabajo se llevó a cabo una revisión bibliográfica en bases de datos, páginas webs y libros especializados en la materia. En concreto, se ha hecho una revisión bibliográfica de plantas medicinales con actividad analgésica-antipirética, plantas medicinales con actividad antiinflamatoria y aceites esenciales utilizados como analgésicos y antiinflamatorios. Asimismo, se han identificado los principios activos aislados a partir de dichas plantas que son utilizados en terapéutica en la actualidad. Por un lado, las indicaciones terapéuticas más frecuentes son el alivio de dolores musculares y articulares, seguido del alivio de molestias ocasionadas por trastornos digestivos leves; por otro lado, la vía de administración predominante es la vía oral, seguida de la vía tópica.
Pain is described as a sensorial perception that is located and subjective, and is felt in a specific part of the body as a result of an excitement or stimulation of sensory nerve endings. This process is associated with inflammation which is a reaction unleashed by the organism that implies a reddening of the area, a volume increase and so an increase of the threshold of the pain. There are various types of pain such as classifications of them and types of scales to measure it. To carry out the current work, a bibliographic review in databases, websites and books specialized in the field was accomplished. In particular, a bibliographic review of medicinal plants with analgesic-antipyretic activity, medicinal plants with anti-inflammatory activity and essential oils used as analgesics and anti-inflammatories was carried out. As well as this, the active principles isolated from those plants that are currently used in therapeutics, have been identified. On the one hand, the most frequent therapeutic indications are relief of muscle and articular pain, followed by relief of discomfort caused by minor digestive disorders. On the other hand, the main via for administration is the oral via, followed by the topical via.
