Scientific Evidence

Effect Route used in the experiment Source
Antifungal activity Disc diffusion method, MIC and MFC determination – E. citriolfactive experiencea essential oil high antifungal potential against the tested. The M. gypseum was the most

resistant to the oil.

 [2]
Antinflamatory and analgesic activities In vivo tests –    strong

analgesic                and antipyretic properties

 [3] [5]
Antioxidant activity Micro-dilution method – Antioxidant activity of the EO from C. citriolfactive experiencea was higher than that of the positive control but lower than that of the standard butylhydroxytoluene

(BHT)

 [4]
