Stimulant mints

A similar study examined the role of experience, using the movements of rat fetuses in an externalized uterus in response to intraoral infusion of lemon or mint extracts on day 19 of gestation. Prior experience does indeed affect fetal responses. There is habituation to repeated stimulation, central processing of sensory information, fetal orienting reflexes to novel stimuli, and prenatal states exist that are associated with different response patterns (Smotherman and Robinson, 1988).

Ginseng stimulates alertness and cardiac function. The stem of Chinese ephedra is a sudorific, and its roots can halt perspiration. Mint is considered, as in the West, cooling and comforting in nature, and is used to relieve colds and fevers. Often, the pharmacist selects a few ingredients that the patient is expected to process as food and boil into a soup. 

Many monoterpenes have found application in perfumery, aromatherapy, as cosmetics and insecticides. Menthol, a constituent of essential oils from Mentha species, is the most widely used monoterpene. It is contained in pharmaceuticals, oral health care products, chewing gums, and tobacco products (Croteau et al., 2005). More than 7,000 t of menthol are produced every year either by total synthesis or from the steam-distilled essential oil of corn-mint Mentha arvensis var. piperascens). The cooling sensation stimulated by menthol is caused by excitation of cation channels that serve as thermal receptors (Jordt et al, 2003).
