Citrus limonum

Hypertension is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease and stroke. Since ancient times, hypertensive patients have been treated orally with plant extracts based on folk medicine. However, and despite their in vitro vasodilator effects, little information about the protective effects of flavonoids on hypertension is available in the literature. Flavonoids have been considered as active principles of several antihypertensive plant extracts (e.g. rhamnoglycoside of limocitrin isolated from Citrus limonum, kaempferol 4 -0-glucose and hyperin from Euphorbia maddeni, moracenins from Morus alba, procyanidin glycoside from Rhamnus lycioides) [150,151]. In all cases, only the acute antihypertensive effects after i.v. administration in anaesthetised normotensive and/or hypertensive animals have been described.

Inhalation of citrus-based aromas Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck (Rutaceae)) or fragrances were found to restore stress-induced immunosuppression (Shibata et al. 1990) and antidepressant-like effects in rats (2 mL/min EO in the air ux) (Komori et al. 1995a). A clinical study with depressed patients revealed that inhaling a mixture of citrus oils was capable of reducing the needed antidepressant doses moreover, inhalation of the oil by itself was antidepressive and normalized neuroendocrine hormone levels (cortisol and DA) in depressive patients (Komori et al. 1995b). Relevant to these ndings, inhaled lemon oil Citrus limonum Risso (Rutaceae)) has been shown to increase the turnover of DA and serotonin after inhalation in mice (Komiya et al. 2006).
