The effect of volatile oils of lavender, monarda, and basil on the course of
experimental atherosclerosis was studied in rabbit experiments. Inhalation of
the volatile fractions of essential++ oils of lavender and monarda in a
concentration of 0.1-0.2 mg/m3 of air has no effect on the content of
cholesterol in the blood, but reduces its content in the aorta and reduces
affection of the aorta by the atherosclerotic plaques, i.e. these oils produce
an angioprotective effect.

The complex of health resort treatment of patients with chronic bronchitis was
supplemented by inhalation of a complex of ether oils in natural concentration
(0.1--0.5 mg/m3): ether oils of Mentha, Artemisia limonica, Salvia officinalis,
Lavandula officinalis, Monarda (2:4:1:1:2). Inhalation course--10 +/- 4
procedures, duration: up to 30 min. The described treatment optimizes the
result, increases the anti-inflammatory effect of health resort treatment.

Molecular systematics of the nepetoideae (family Labiatae): phylogenetic
implications from rbcL gene sequences.
In: Z Naturforsch [C] (1994 Sep-Oct) 49(9-10):635-45
ISSN: 0341-0382

Total DNA was extracted from 41 species (20 genera) of the subfamily Nepetoideae
(family Labiatae). Using rbcL-specific primers, the rbcL gene wsa amplified by
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced directly. RbcL sequences were
evaluated with character state (maximum parsimony; PAUP) and distance methods
(neighbour-joining; MEGA). In agreement with classical systematics all taxa
studied cluster within the Nepetoideae and are clearly distinguished from
members of the subfamily Lamioideae. A number of distinctive clades are apparent
within the Nepetoideae: I-Collinsonia, II-Lavandula, III-Agastache, Glechoma,
IV-Satureja, Hyssopus, Dracocephalum, V-Nepeta, VI-Hormium, VII-Prunella,
VIII-Melissa, Ocimum, IX-Monarda, Mentha, X-Origanum, Thymus, XI-Salvia,
XII-Rosmarinus, and XIII-Perovskia. At least five main branches representing the
clades I, II, III to VII, VIII, and IX to XIII respectively, can be
distinguished within the Nepetoideae studied. They might be considered
representing the tribes (according to Cantino, 1992) Elsholtzieae (I).
Lavanduleae (II), and Mentheae (III-XIII). The tribe Mentheae needs to be
subdivided into at least three main groups (clades III-VII, VIII and IX-XIII).
Majorana hortensis which is often classified as Origanum hortensis does not
cluster with Origanum and deserves a genetic status of its own.
