Abstract
Clinopodium gilliesii (Benth.) Kuntze, harvested in the Chilean highlands, contains a surprising 93.87% of the toxic monoterpene pulegone in the essential oil. These results show remarkable differences with studies of the same species carried out in Argentina and Peru. These dissimilarities in the monoterpene composition of essential oils should be associated with differences in toxicity and biological activity of this medicinal plant used in ethnomedicine in different countries for the treatment of similar discomforts and diseases. These results are discussed considering the risk of consuming C. gilliesii, without clear recommendations and control of at least pulegone content in essential oils.
