title: Sedating and antipyretic activity of the essential oil of Calamintha sylvatica subsp. ascendens.
abstract: The essential oil of Calamintha sylvatica subsp. ascendens exerts significant sedating and antipyretic activities in the rat. The components responsible for these activities appear to be the major monoterpenes present: pulegone, menthone and eucalyptol (1,8-cineol).
