(Mentha Piperita). Peppermint is a perennial flowering plant that grows throughout Europe and North America. Mint plants such as Peppermint and Spearmint have a long history of therapeutic use, dating back to ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Peppermint is believed to be a hybrid of Spearmint and Water Mint that arose naturally. Fragrant, soothing Peppermint Oil is obtained by steam distillation of the fresh above-ground parts of the plant. Peppermint Oil has been used for centuries by traditional healers to ease the discomfort of common cold symptoms, cramps, headache, indigestion, joint pain, and nausea. Peppermint may promote healthy digestion by soothing and comforting the stomach.
