» What is Peppermint?
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is a perennial plant found in Europe, Asia and North America. Its active ingredient is Menthol, an organic compound that generates a cooling sensation when applied to the mouth or skin. Peppermint also contains Vitamin A and Vitamin C as well as certain minerals.
Peppermint has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years for a wide variety of contions and complaints though perhaps its most common usage is as a flavouring for food and drink.
