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.

Ce que dit la science
- Le Groupe de travail de l'EFSA a conclu que l'huile de menthe poivrée est sûre pour son utilisation comme additif sensoriel dans les aliments pour animaux jusqu'à une dose de 8,8 mg/kg, sans nécessité d'une démonstration supplémentaire d'efficacité.
- Les phytochimiques de Mentha arvensis, en particulier le citronellol, montrent du potentiel comme des agents d'action double qui pourraient atténuer la cardiotoxicité induite par doxorubicine tout en préservant l'activité antitumorale lorsqu'ils sont utilisés en combinaison avec Dexrazoxane.
- L’eau usée non traitée a favorisé le croissance végétale mais a modifié l’activité antioxydante et la distribution des phytochimiques chez Mentha arvensis.
- Un total de 64 espèces végétales ont été documentées, avec des taux élevés de fidélité pour Mentha arvensis et Azadirachta indica.
