Other Perilla components, such as rosmarinic acid, perillaldehyde, luteolin, apigenin, tormentic acid, and isoegomaketone) define its pharmacological properties.

Clinical Data

Improvement in the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinoconjuctivitis have been reported in several studies of perilla extract. Patient evaluation of symptoms showed significant improvement. Numbers of inflammatory cells in nasal lavage fluid were significantly lower at 3 days in patients receiving Perilla.

Gastrointestinal

A randomized, placebo-controlled pilot study explored the effects of perilla extract 150 mg twice daily for 4 weeks in 50 healthy volunteers with GI discomfort and reduced bowel movements.

Significant improvements were observed in bloating, gas, GI rumbling, fullness and abdominal discomfort with administration of perilla.

Additionally, a higher rate of respondents was documented in the perilla group compared to placebo, especially for bloating with women responding more often than men.
