How Is Pennyroyal Used in Traditional Medicine?

Scientific Research on Pennyroyal’s Benefits

Recent studies have explored pennyroyal’s effects in probiotic-rich foods. Research by Dr. R.M. Moghadam, Dr. P. Ariaii, and Dr. M. Ahmady, published in the Journal of Food Measurement and Characterization, examined the impact of microencapsulated pennyroyal extract on probiotic viability in yogurt. The study highlights potential health benefits, including improved digestion, lactose intolerance relief, and bone health support. Read the full study here: CABI Digital Library.
