Description

Peppermint (Mentha Piperita), is a summer-growing perennial herbal plant with small, highly aromatic dark green leaves with serrated edges. The herb has been used to remedy indigestion since Ancient Egyptian times. During the eighteenth century, peppermint became popular in Western Europe as a folk remedy for nausea, vomiting, morning sickness, respiratory infections, and menstrual disorders.

Its energizing refreshing fragrance is cooling and enlivening. Peppermint oil is extensively used as a flavoring in Ayurveda Medicines, Digestive Syrups, candies, chewing gums, mints, teas, alcoholic liqueurs, tobacco, skincare, and oral care products. It is also an effective pest repellant and is helpful in getting rid of rodents.
