Peppermint Herb

Native to Europe, Peppermint is actually a hybrid cross between Water Mint and Spearmint and will occasionally be found growing wild along with its parent herb. Peppermint is an herbaceous perennial plant that has smooth but slightly hairy stems, dark green leaves with reddish veins and produces small purple flowers.

Peppermint is known for its high menthol content and is often favored in teas, toothpaste, gum, candy and even ice creams. Peppermint has been used medicinally through out history and is still used in that way today. Peppermint is being studied to evaluate its effectiveness in diseases such as IBS and is showing to produce marked improvements in patients who have taken it.
