DESCRIPTION:
Schizonepeta is a plant.
The parts that grow above the ground are used to make medicine.
Schizonepeta Tenuifolia Extract is used for the common cold, fever, sore throat, pain, eczema (atopic dermatitis), psoriasis, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
HOW DOES SCHIZONEPETA TENUIFOLIA EXTRACT WORK ?
Schizonepeta Tenuifolia Extract contains chemicals that might reduce swelling and allergic reactions.
Schizonepeta (Japanese catnip) is a genus of herbs.
Schizonepeta Tenuifolia Extract should not be confused with the true catnips of the genus Nepeta (also Lamiaceae) known for their euphoria-inducing effect on domestic cats.
Schizonepeta Tenuifolia Extract is Used as a medicinal herb, Schizonepeta tenuifolia is cultivated chiefly in the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi, China.
The above-ground parts are collected in autumn, or early winter, and dried in the shade.
Its Chinese name is jing jie (荊芥) pronounced jīng jiè (pinyin).
Other names include Herba seu Flos Schizonepetae Tenuifoliae, keigai (Japanese), and hyonggae (Korean).
Extracts
In animal studies, Schizonepeta tenuifolia extracts in high doses exhibit immunomodulation of the inflammatory response by regulating cytokine release, specifically the release of Th1 and Th2 cytokines from T cells as well as the unprimed CD4 T cells from differentiating into Th1 and Th2 cells.[1]
Schizonepeta Tenuifolia Extract also interrupts histamine release from mast cells to inhibit allergic reactions in rats.
CHEMISTRY OF S SCHIZONEPETA TENUIFOLIA EXTRACT:
Schizonepeta tenuifolia contains the following constituents:[4]
four monoterpenes: (−)-menthone, (+)-pulegone, (−)-limonene and (+)-menthofuran as the main bio-active and toxic constituents.
additional compounds: 1-octen-3-ol, 3-octanone, β-myrcene, and β-caryophyllene.
Schizonepeta tenuifolia extract.
Schizonepeta Tenuifolia Extract acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
Schizonepeta Tenuifolia Extract is suitable for use in skin care applications.
