Clinopodium nepeta
Herbe de la famille des Lamiaceae méditerranéenne utilisée pour les troubles respiratoires et digestifs, similaire au thym.
Clinopodium nepeta (lesser calamint) is a Mediterranean Lamiaceae herb traditionally used for respiratory and digestive conditions, similar to thyme. Its primary active compounds include pulegone, piperitone, flavonoids, and rosmarinic acid, which contribute to expectorant, anti-inflammatory, and digestive tonic effects. Evidence is limited (Level C), primarily from traditional use and preliminary studies.
The essential oil components, particularly pulegone and piperitone, stimulate bronchial secretions and ciliary activity, providing expectorant effects. Rosmarinic acid and flavonoids inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory actions. Additionally, bitter principles and volatile oils promote digestive function by stimulating gastric juice secretion and bile flow, while pulegone may contribute to antimicrobial activity.
