Historical reference material

The statements below are preserved from older aromatherapy reference material for historical context only. They are not medically verified recommendations and must not be used to diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. Because pennyroyal essential oil is highly toxic, these statements are not directions for use.

Older source claims: “Aromatherapy properties” were listed as colds, pneumonia, and other breathing problems; stomach pains, gas, intestinal disorders; liver and gallbladder problems; and control of muscle spasms.

The source describes pennyroyal as a grass-like creeping herb native to Europe. It notes that the botanical name includes the prefix “Mentha” because the crushed leaves smell like mint, and states that the essential oil is derived from the fresh plant by steam distillation.

The same source attributes effects on the nerves and brain to claims involving hysteria, convulsions, unconscious violent behavior, and fainting, including a reported use in hysterical fainting.

It also describes a depurative, numbing, warming, and stimulating effect and claims traditional use for rheumatic and arthritic discomfort, circulation, and delayed menstruation, including hormonal effects.
