Not covered (AHP). “Hazards and/or side effects not known for proper therapeutic dosages” (PH2) (but PH2 designates no specific quantified dosage! JAD). Direct application of the mint is said to be an irritant (WBB). Fractions containing phenolics may exhibit CNS-stimulant and spasmogenic activities. But extracts or populations rich in EOs may be a CNS depressant and somnifacient (TIB). EOs are antibacterial and antifungal.
