What is Peppermint?
A familiar and popular herb, peppermint is a botanical hybrid of two plants: water mint and spearmint. The peppermint herb is valued for its highly fragrant oil. Steam-distilled from the herb’s leaves, the oil is widely used as a flavoring agent in teas, jellies, desserts, candies, liqueurs and other confections around the world. In addition to its strong presence in culinary traditions, peppermint is an important component in herbal wellness, including Traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic, European and Native American botanical health practices.
Peppermint oil is widely regarded as an herbal stomach tonic.** Early European herbalists first identified the herb’s stomach-soothing properties centuries ago.** Peppermint oil appears to have a range of gastrointestinal benefits, notably assisting with indigestion, stomach cramps, gas and nausea.** The herb’s digestive wellness benefits have been linked to its primary active compounds, menthol and menthone.** It also supplies antioxidant compounds and rosmaric acid.
