“…This is the first published report of myrtenol, anethole and elemicin in Anemopsis root tissue. The level of the major component methyleugenol corresponds to previously published level in root oils characterized by Acharya and Chaubal (1968). In that study using plants from California, methyleugenol comprised 55% of the root oil, with thymol at 13% and piperitone at 5%.…”

“…Anemopsis essential oil was studied extensively from the late 1950's to the early 1970's (Horton and Paul, 1957;Childs, 1962;Acharya and Chaubal, 1968;Sanvordeker and Chaubal, 1969;Tutupalli and Chaubal, 1971). The collective result of these works was the identification of 12 volatiles isolated from the roots and rhizomes of Anemopsis including methyleugenol (57%), thymol (13.8%) and piperitone (8%), and the isolation and identification of crystalline (+) asarinin.…”

Anemopsis californica (Saururaceae) commonly called yerba mansa, is an important medicinal plant in many deserts in the southwestern region of North America. Populations of A. californica, collected throughout New Mexico, were examined for chemical variability in roots and rhizomes for select monocyclic (cymene, limonene, piperitone and thymol) and bicyclic (α-pinene, 1,8-cineole and myrtenol) monoterpenoid and phenylpropanoid (methyleugenol, isoeugenol and elemicin) derived essential oil components. Three distinct chemotypes were detected using a hierarchical clustering analysis on the concentration of 10 different analytes in three individuals from each of 17 populations. One chemotype was characterized by high elemicin concentrations, a second chemotype by high methyleugenol concentrations and the third by high piperitone and thymol concentrations. Steam distilled oil was used to screen for anticancer bioactivity. A. californica root oils demonstrated antiproliferative activity against AN3CA and HeLa cells in vitro but no activity against lung, breast, prostate or colon cancer cells. The IC 50 values for the root oil were 0.056% and 0.052% (v/v) for the AN3CA and HeLa cells respectively.

“…Extraction of Essential Oil-The essential oil used in the previous experiments (1) was used for the quantitative determination of the constituents. Additionally, 500 g. crude drug (1) + 3.5 1. water was also hydrodistilled in the apparatus described earlier (1). However the distillation was carried out in an interrupted manner.…”

Many useful herbal treatments have no clinical research support because of the lack of funding for large research studies. Nonetheless, these remedies are widely used in practice. This article reviews the common uses of Anemopsis californica (yerba mansa) for treating various dental conditions and abscesses; use of an Eclectic formula, Neutralizing Cordial-that combines Hydrastis canadensis (goldenseal), Cinnamomum spp. (cinnamon), and Rheum palmatum (Turkey rhubarb) with spirit of Mentha x piperata (peppermint) essential oil and a simple sugar syrup-to address many digestive disorders, such as diarrhea, constipation, acid reflux, and bloating; use of Ceanothus spp. (red root) to treat persistent cases of laryngitis; and use of Althaea off icinalis (marshmallow) root or Malva spp. (mallow) leaves to prevent strep throat.
