Lavandula stoechas
Mediterranean lavender species used in traditional medicine since ancient Greek times for headaches, epilepsy, and respiratory conditions. Slightly different chemistry from Lavandula angustifolia.
Lavandula stoechas, a Mediterranean lavender species used since ancient Greek times, exhibits antispasmodic, antimicrobial, expectorant, and mild anxiolytic properties. Its key active compounds include fenchone, camphor, borneol, and 1,8-cineole, which contribute to its traditional uses for headaches, epilepsy, and respiratory conditions.
The antispasmodic action is mediated by fenchone and camphor, which inhibit smooth muscle contraction via calcium channel modulation and GABA-A receptor potentiation. 1,8-Cineole acts as an expectorant by stimulating bronchial secretion and reducing mucus viscosity, while camphor and borneol exert antimicrobial effects through disruption of microbial cell membranes. The mild anxiolytic activity involves GABA-A receptor binding, though with lower affinity than L. angustifolia due to higher camphor content.
