Mint Wild

Mentha arvensis

Origin: Nepal
Family: Lamiaceae
Part used: Leaf

Mint Wild is a perennial flowering plant that can grow up to 1 metre tall. It is native to Europe, Nepal, North America, Central and Western Asia. It prefers a temperate climate and moist conditions. It is often found growing freely beside streams. It is very, very cooling due to the high menthol content. This makes it an excellent first aid treatment for the relief of minor pain, sprains, inflammation, muscle spasms and sunburn. It is also useful in support of digestive complaints and colds. It is widely used as a culinary flavouring and to add clean, minty freshness to products such as mouthwash and cough medicines.
