Mentha x piperita var. citrata
Citrus-scented variety of peppermint with similar but gentler medicinal properties. Used in European and Middle Eastern folk medicine for digestive complaints and as an aromatherapy herb.
Peppermint Spanish (Mentha x piperita var. citrata) is a citrus-scented variety of peppermint traditionally used in European and Middle Eastern folk medicine for digestive complaints and mild anxiety. Its primary active compounds include linalool, linalyl acetate, and trace menthol, which contribute to its carminative, anxiolytic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is considered gentler than common peppermint and is used both as a culinary herb and in aromatherapy.
Linalool and linalyl acetate modulate GABA-A receptors, producing anxiolytic effects, and inhibit acetylcholinesterase, enhancing cholinergic tone. Linalool also suppresses COX-2 and NF-κB pathways, reducing inflammation. Bergapten, a furanocoumarin, exhibits antifungal activity via membrane disruption and may cause photosensitivity through DNA intercalation. Trace menthol activates TRPM8 channels, providing mild carminative effects by relaxing gastrointestinal smooth muscle.
