Lippia graveolens
Aromatic shrub native to Mexico and Central America, stronger in flavor than Mediterranean oregano, used medicinally for respiratory infections and digestive complaints.
Lippia graveolens, a fragrant shrub native to Mexico and Central America, is traditionally used for respiratory infections and digestive complaints. Modern research supports its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and respiratory-supportive properties, attributed to active compounds such as carvacrol, thymol, and rosmarinic acid. Evidence level C indicates limited clinical data, but traditional use and preliminary studies suggest efficacy.
Carvacrol and thymol, major phenolic monoterpenes, disrupt bacterial cell membranes and inhibit fungal growth, contributing to antimicrobial effects. These compounds also activate TRP channels (e.g., TRPA1, TRPV1) in respiratory epithelium, promoting mucociliary clearance and bronchodilation. Flavonoids and rosmarinic acid provide antioxidant activity by scavenging free radicals and modulating NF-κB pathway, reducing inflammation. Additionally, linalool exhibits anxiolytic and sedative properties via GABA-A receptor modulation.
