Citron

Citrus medica, commonly known as citron, is a traditional medicinal plant that has historical roots in various cultures. It is traditionally used for its aromatic properties and has been incorporated into religious ceremonies and rituals in some Eastern traditions. While there are no specific recorded traditional uses for treating ailments or conditions, studies have shown variability in gene expression and metabolic pathways between different cultivars of citron related to juice sac initiation. Metabolic analyses also indicate that phenolic compositions and bioactivities differ by fruit part, region, and phenolic fraction, particularly noting the low levels of hesperidin and absence of nobiletin in Japanese-grown Bushukan (Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis). Additionally, Citrus medica cv. 'Rugosa' essential oil has demonstrated potent antimicrobial and anti-virulence activity in vitro with strong binding affinities for potential drug targets. To date, no major safety concerns or recorded drug interactions have been identified for this plant.
