what it means antiedematogenic?

Answer 1

The key to understanding the meaning of this word is the element "edema". Edema is a swelling, not any swelling but specifically one due to "excess accumulation of serous fluid in connective tissue or in a serous cavity" ... in other words watery fluids (not blood, and not other causes of swellings). One well known example is pulmonary edema -- fluid on the lungs. Edema usually happens in the feet, ankles and legs. It also can affect the face and hands. Pregnant women and older adults often get edema, but it can happen to anyone.

So, an edematogenic is something that causes edematous swellings and an antiedematogenic is something that stops them appearing.

Plants can also get a kind of edema; see link.

Answer 2

It is a pharmacological property that means 'prevents swelling' in animals. Some plants like pau d'arco in Brazil exhibit that property and are actively researched by scientists to design new drugs.

Answer 3

Overview

Pau d'arco, or the inner bark of the Tabebuia avellanedae tree, is native to Brazil, where it is used traditionally to treat a wide range of conditions including pain, arthritis, inflammation of the prostate gland (prostatitis), fever, dysentery, boils and ulcers, and various cancers. Preliminary laboratory research examining the properties of pau d'arco is beginning to suggest that the traditional uses may have scientific merit. Such laboratory studies have shown that pau d'arco has pain killing, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-infectious, anti-psoriatic, and anti-cancer abilities. Taking this early data, combined with information collected about traditional uses, herbalists may recommend pau d'arco to treat or prevent a number of conditions, including candidiasis (a yeast infection of the vaginal or oral areas), herpes simplex virus, influenza, parasitic diseases such as schistosomiasis, bacterial infections such as brucellosis, and inflammation of the cervix (cervicitis) or the vagina (vaginitis). Pau d'arco may also reduce inflammation of the joints associated with arthritis.
