Vol. 7(7), 2015, 474-476 Therapeutic Uses of Peppermint –A Review Aishwarya Balakrishnan, Saveetha Dental College,Chennai-77 Abstract: Peppermint (Mentha piperita, also known as M. balsamea Willd), is a hybrid mint, a cross between watermint and spearmint. The plant, indigenous to Europe and the Middle East, is now widespread in cultivation in many regions of the world. It is found wild occasionally with its parent species. The concentrated oil of peppermint has a high menthol content. The oil also contains menthone and menthyl esters, particularly menthyl acetate. Dried peppermint typically has volatile oil containing menthol, menthone , menthyl acetate ,menthofuran and 1,8-cineol. Peppermint oil also contains small amounts of many additional compounds including limonene, pulegone, caryophyllene and pinene. According to the German Commission E monographs, peppermint oil (as well as peppermint leaf) has been used internally as an antispasmodic (upper gastrointestinal tract and bile ducts) and to treat irritable bowel syndrome, catarrh of the respiratory tract, and inflammation of the oral mucosa. Externally, peppermint oil has been used for myalgia and neuralgia. According to Commission E, peppermint oil may also act as a carminative, cholagogue, antibacterial, and secretolytic, and it has a cooling action. Enteric-coated peppermint oil capsules (Colpermin) have been used as an orally administered antispasmodic premedication in colonoscopy. Key Words : Mentha piperita, peppermint, menthone.

And Liquorice
Progress in Nutrition 2018; Vol. 20, N. 4: 713-720 DOI: 110.23751/pn.v20i4.7950 © Mattioli 1885 Original article Efficiency of spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) and liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) extracts in oxidative stability of fish oil under accelerated conditions İlknur Ucak Nigde Omer Halisdemir University, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Technologies, Nigde, Turkey. E-mail: [email protected] Summary. Nowadays, innumerable synthetic and naturally sourced antioxidants are used to overcome the quality problems of fish and fish products. When considering the rejection of synthetic additives by consum- ers, demand for the natural sources food supplements has increased. This study focuses on the potential use of spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) and liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) extracts as natural antioxidant in fish oil during accelerated storage. Ethanolic (70%) extracts of spearmint and liquorice were prepared and synthetic antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) added into the fish oil in different concentrations (100, 500 and 1,000 ppm). The peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid value (TBARS), para-anisidine value (p-Av) and UV-spectrum analyses of fish oil were evaluated during storage at 55oC. Throughout the the storage period the PV, TBARS value, p-Av, conjugated dienes (UV232) and conjugated trienes (UV270) values of spearmint and liquorice extracts added samples were significantly lower than the control and BHT added samples. Ac- cording to results of the study, 500 and 1,000 ppm concentrations of spearmint and liquorice extracts were more effective in prevention of lipid oxidation in fish oil. The results revail that spearmint and liquorice ex- tracts could be a natural antioxidant source for oxidative stability of fish oil.

Unlike dill, herbs through horseradish, or rosemary, savory is not one distinct species. It is a general term that covers mainly the educational genus Satureja, but as time and botanists have fractured the many plants that have been called programs, savories, the title now refers to multiple genera. As research and some of the most important savories still belong to the genus Satureja our main focus will be on those plants, sharing the but we will also include some of their close cousins. The more the merrier! experience of its Savories are very historical plants and have long been utilized in their native regions of southern members with the Europe, western Asia, and parts of North America. It community. is our hope that all members of The Herb Society of America who don't already grow and use savories will grow at least one of them in the year 2015 and try cooking with it.

FAMILY PHYSICIAN with Essential Oils “I Finally Figured out How to Use Essential Oils—TAKE OFF the CAP”
FAMILY PHYSICIAN With Essential Oils “I finally figured out how to use essential oils—TAKE OFF THE CAP” You can use all of the oils 3 ways; Topically, Internally (drip into an empty gel cap) and with the diffuser. If the bottle has a ‘supplement’ box on the label, you can feel completely safe using it internally. When diluting* the essential oils, use one drop of Coconut Oil for one or two drops of the essential oil. It is not necessary to dilute the essential oils, but for some essential oils which are particularly cool (Peppermint, Wintergreen) or hot (Oregano, Cinnamon, Clove, Cassia), it may not be comfortable on your skin without diluting, and may be particularly uncomfortable for a child. If you use an oil without diluting and it is uncomfortable to the recipient, simply apply a small amount of coconut oil and it will quickly resolve the problem. Also, if you are using the oils on an open sore or wound, it is always a good idea to dilute with coconut oil. Diffusion is powerful because the child can breathe it in and it kills microorganisms in the air which helps stop the spread of sickness. If the oils get in the eyes, it will sting but will not do damage. Simply rub a few drops of your diluter oil on the eye and it will help to relieve the suffering. You can combine and mix any of the oils as much as you like and the oils are safe with any medication. If you are not sure how to apply the oil, know that you can ALWAYS rub it on the bottoms of the feet and you will get the full affect.

Verticillium Wilt of Mint in the United States of America
plants Review Verticillium Wilt of Mint in the United States of America Jeremiah K. S. Dung Central Oregon Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, Oregon State University, Madras, OR 97741, USA; [email protected] Received: 1 October 2020; Accepted: 10 November 2020; Published: 18 November 2020 Abstract: Verticillium wilt, caused by the fungus Verticillium dahliae, is the most important and destructive disease of mint (Mentha spp.) in the United States (U.S.). The disease was first observed in commercial mint fields in the Midwestern U.S. in the 1920s and, by the 1950s, was present in mint producing regions of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Verticillium wilt continues to be a major limiting factor in commercial peppermint (Mentha x piperita) and Scotch spearmint (Mentha x gracilis) production, two of the most important sources of mint oil in the U.S. The perennial aspect of U.S. mint production, coupled with the soilborne, polyetic nature of V. dahliae, makes controlling Verticillium wilt in mint a challenge. Studies investigating the biology and genetics of the fungus, the molecular mechanisms of virulence and resistance, and the role of soil microbiota in modulating host-pathogen interactions are needed to improve our understanding of Verticillium wilt epidemiology and inform novel disease management strategies. This review will discuss the history and importance of Verticillium wilt in commercial U.S. mint production, as well as provide a format to highlight past and recent research advances in an effort to better understand and manage the disease. Keywords: Verticillium dahliae; Mentha; soilborne plant pathogens; disease management 1.
