Peppermint History
The history of peppermint is simply amazing. Believe it or not, however, it has not always existed. It is a cross between spearmint & watermint (hence the "x" in its scientific name mentha × piperita). Historical records show its use as far back as ancient Rome, Greece, & Egypt! Peppermint has been noted by ancient renowned philosophers such as Pliny the Elder and Aristotle for its ability to stimulate appetite and act as an aphrodisiac. It was scientifically classified in England during the 1700's.
People today use peppermint for a multitude of uses such as:
- Sweeteners & flavoring
- Indigestion, gas, bloating
- Headache relief & greater focus
- Cosmetic Ointment
- Breath freshener
