▎成分解析

｜主要成分：單萜醇

薄荷含多種成分，主成分薄荷醇(Menthol，又名薄荷腦)，其他有薄荷酮(Menthone)、異薄荷酮(Isomenthone)、胡薄荷酮(Puleggone)、檸檬烯(Limonene)、乙酸薄荷酯(Menthyl acetate)、1.8-桉油醇(Cineole)、薄荷呋喃(Menthofuran)、ß-丁香油烴(ß-caryophyllene，又稱石竹烯)、大根老鸛草烯(Germacrene)、香豆素、含硫化合物等。

｜成分1：薄荷醇（Menthol）

薄荷醇與樟腦、甲基水楊酸（Ｍethyl salicylate）均可由皮膚吸收。在肝臟代謝與葡萄醣醛酸（glucuronic acid）結合之後，由膽汁與尿液排出。

｜成分2：薄荷酮(Ｍenthone)

｜成分3：ß-丁香油烴(ß-caryophyllene)

又稱石竹烯、老鸛草烯，強力抗病毒。將薄荷油腹腔注射於小鼠，結果小鼠活動力顯著提高，後續研究發現桉油醇、薄荷酮、異薄荷酮、薄荷醇、(R)-(+)-胡薄荷酮、乙酸薄荷酯和石竹烯(caryophyllene)這些薄荷油所含的成分都能明顯增加小鼠活力。
