Peppermint is a plant that is very rich in menthol. It differs from sweet mint in that its leaves are smaller and it has more stems.

It has a fresh, intense, and slightly peppery scent. What's more, the scent becomes even stronger when you rub the leaves between your fingers.

Peppermint is believed to be the result of a natural cross between spearmint (Peppermint) and water mint (Mentha aquatica).

Uses of Peppermint

Peppermint can be used in many ways. For example, it is used to make Moroccan tea and Lebanese tabbouleh.

When brewed as a tea, it helps aid digestion. When inhaled, it is often used to treat colds or sinusitis. Thus, it offers both culinary uses and natural health benefits.

In addition, it can help relieve insect bites thanks to its soothing properties.
