Pharmacological action
Peppermint leaf – a herbal remedy. It causes moderate sedative, antianginal, carminative, antihypoxic effects, choleretic, antiseptic, analgesic, antiemetic effect. The therapeutic effects are mainly due to the components of the essential oil, of which the most studied is menthol (60%).
When ingested (under the tongue), menthol irritates the cold receptors of the oral mucosa, which stimulates the formation and release of enkephalins, endorphins, dynorphins and peptides, which play an important role in the regulation of pain, permeability and vascular tone, in the modulation of various mediator systems.
The result is a reflex expansion of the vessels of the heart, brain, lungs. Menthol stimulates the respiratory center, suppresses the vomiting reflex. Menthol and other components of the essential oil have an antispasmodic effect on the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract, and gently stimulate the secretion of digestive glands.
Menthol in combination with mint leaf flavonoids provide a choleretic effect. Esters of isovaleric acid provide a sedative effect.
Menthol, betapinene, limonene, cineole, tannins and ursolic acid provide antimicrobial, antifungal effects and help restore the functions of the ciliated epithelium of the upper respiratory tract. Expectorant, mucolytic and moderate antihypoxic effects are preserved by inhalation with peppermint oil.
