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.
Wild mint has been used since antiquity as a culinary herb, to treat digestive complaints and fevers. More recently Native American Indians have used it widely for everything from preserving food, repelling rodents, treating sore throats and easing flatulence. It is still widely used today in cosmetics, dental hygiene products, cleaning products and medicines.
