Pepper mint

The plant

Latin: Mentha Piperita

Plant part: Flowery

Origin: France

Peppermint is a perennial about 80 cm high, widely widespread in Europe and Asia, especially at low altitude. Formerly the Chinese praised the calming and antispasmodic properties of the mints, Hippocrates judged them aphrodisiac and Pliny appreciated their analgesic action. Today mint is, with verbena and linden, one of the queen herbal teas of our meals. All mints more or less have the same properties. The aromatic hydrosol of peppermint, sprayed on the face and in the mouth, will reassure travelers subject to transport evil.

What are the benefits of Peppermint

Peppermint is an herb with many health benefits. It is particularly appreciated for its effectiveness in relieving headaches and migraines. Indeed, thanks to its antispasmodic properties, peppermint helps relax muscles and relieve tension that can cause headaches. Additionally, this herb is also known to promote better digestion by relieving difficult digestion issues and reducing bloating. Finally, peppermint is also effective in combating travel sickness by soothing nausea and dizziness associated with travel.
