Mentha longifolia
Wild mint widespread across Europe, Asia, and Africa; used in traditional medicine across many cultures.
Mentha longifolia (wild mint) is a medicinal herb traditionally used across Europe, Asia, and Africa for digestive complaints, fever, and respiratory infections. Its primary active compounds include pulegone, piperitenone, carvone, and beta-pinene, which contribute to its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and carminative properties. Evidence for its modern uses is limited (Level C), with most data derived from traditional use and preliminary studies.
Pulegone and piperitenone exert antimicrobial effects by disrupting bacterial cell membranes and inhibiting efflux pumps. Anti-inflammatory activity is mediated through inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Carminative and antispasmodic actions likely involve calcium channel blockade and modulation of serotonin (5-HT) receptors on gastrointestinal smooth muscle. Antipyretic effects may be due to central prostaglandin synthesis inhibition via COX-2 suppression.
