corn mint
Mentha arvensis
Mentha arvensis, commonly known as cornmint, is a traditional plant with origins in Europe and Asia. Traditionally, its use has not been extensively documented; however, it has been employed in various folk remedies for digestive issues and respiratory ailments. Scientific evidence suggests that the oil from Mentha arvensis, particularly when used in combination with Dexrazoxane, may have potential as a dual-action agent to mitigate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity while maintaining anticancer efficacy. The EFSA Panel has also concluded its safety for use as a sensory additive in animal feed up to 8.8 mg/kg without requiring additional efficacy demonstrations. In terms of environmental impact, untreated wastewater can promote vegetative growth but may alter antioxidant activity and phytochemical distribution among other plants. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been recorded, making it generally safe for use under current understanding.

Lo que dice la ciencia
- El Panel de la AEFSA concluyó que el aceite de menta patrón es seguro para su uso como aditivo sensorial en pienso hasta una dosis de 8,8 mg/kg, sin necesidad de demostrar eficacia adicional.
- Los fitoquímicos de Mentha arvensis, especialmente el citronelol, muestran potencial como agentes de acción dual que podrían mitigar la cardiotoxicidad inducida por doxorubicina mientras se preserva la actividad antitumoral cuando se utilizan en combinación con Dexrazoxane.
- El agua residual no tratada promovió el crecimiento vegetativo pero alteró la actividad antioxidante y la distribución de fitoquímicos en Mentha arvensis.
- Se documentaron un total de 64 especies de plantas, entre las cuales Mentha arvensis y Azadirachta indica mostraron altos niveles de fidelidad.
