Abstract: | This article presents an up-to-date review of the plant Schizonepeta tenuifolia (Jingjie), of family Labiatae, with respect to its traditional uses, chemical constituents, various pharmacological activities, and clinical effects. Nonetheless, its mechanism of actions, adverse effects, drug interactions, and contraindications remain unclear. With the global growth on the use of herbal products, Jingjie has been commonly marketed for the treatment of common cold and fever in Chinese proprietary medicines. Hence, further studies will be warranted to show its efficacy and safety. |
