Nepeta cataria
Menthe eurasienne largement répandue et naturalisée en Amérique, utilisée en médecine populaire comme calmant pour les enfants et contre les coliques, la fièvre et les troubles digestifs.
Catmint (Nepeta cataria) is a Eurasian mint used traditionally as a mild sedative, antispasmodic, and diaphoretic, particularly for children's colic and fevers. Its primary active compound, nepetalactone, exhibits sedative and anxiolytic effects, while rosmarinic acid and flavonoids contribute to its antispasmodic and carminative actions. Evidence is limited to traditional use and preliminary studies, placing it at evidence level C.
Nepetalactone is thought to act on the central nervous system via modulation of GABA-A receptors, producing mild sedative and anxiolytic effects similar to valerian but with lower potency. Rosmarinic acid inhibits GABA transaminase, increasing GABA levels, while flavonoids like luteolin and apigenin have additional anxiolytic and antispasmodic properties through interaction with benzodiazepine binding sites. The diaphoretic action may be due to mild vasodilation and stimulation of sweat glands, possibly via cholinergic pathways.
