Peppermint is a
perennial aromatic herb that is a natural hybrid of Mentha aquatica L.
(water mint) and M.
spicata L. (spearmint).
The genus name Mentha is from the Greek Mintha, the name of a mythical
nymph who metamorphosed into this plant; its species name piperita is from
the Latin piper, meaning pepper, alluding to its aromatic and pungent
taste.
The United States is the leading producer of
peppermint oil,
especially in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Wisconsin, and Indiana.
Peppermint Oil is a
well-known flavoring added to gums,
candies, medicines, ointments, liquors, mouthwashes, toothpastes and
many other commodities. Mint leaves have been used in medicine for several
thousand years, according to records from the Greek, Roman, and ancient
Egyptian eras. Today,
peppermint leaf and/or its oil are official in the national
pharmacopoeias of Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary,
Russia, Switzerland, and the European Pharmacopoeia.
Scientific evidence shows that the aromatic
Peppermint herb
helps stimulate the body and is calming to the stomach.
Peppermint is one
of the oldest and best-tasting home remedies for indigestion. Studies show
that peppermint
lessens the amount of time food spends in the stomach by stimulating the
gastric lining.
Peppermint is excellent for heartburn and stomach ache. Migraine
headaches, which are frequently accompanied by nausea, are often relieved
by peppermint. The
herb peppermint can
help soothe a nagging cough, sore throat and allergies.
Stash
Peppermint tea is
produced exclusively from top quality Oregon grown
peppermint, which
is considered the world's finest. Oregon's deep rich soil, moist cool
winters and long dry sunny summers provide mint growers with the natural
tools to produce
peppermint. The mint is harvested in July and August and when properly
cured (or dried) it is sold as leaf or to produce
peppermint oil. |
