Used for colds, flu, sore throat, laryngitis, gas and mild digestive disorders. Peppermint oil is the most extensively used of all the volatile oils, both medicinally and commercially. The characteristic anti-spasmodic action of the volatile oil is more marked in this than in any other oil, and greatly adds to its power of relieving pains arising in the alimentary canal. Peppermint is good to assist in raising internal heat and inducing perspiration, although its strength is soon exhausted. Peppermint A hybrid perennial
plant; 1-3 feet tall; the erect, square, branching stem is tinged with
reddish-purple (not green as in spearmint) and has opposite, dark green,
ovate to lanceo-late, serrate leaves. Auxiliary and terminal spikes
of small, purple (violet) flowers in loose, interrupted terminal spikes,
appear from July to frost. The entire plant has a very characteristic
odor, due to the volatile oil present in all its parts, which when applied
to the tongue has a hot, aromatic taste at first, and afterwards produces
a sensation of cold in the mouth caused by the menthol it contains.
The whole plant has the characteristic smell of menthol. The plant is
found throughout Europe, in moist situations, along stream banks and
in waste lands, and is not infrequent In damp places in England, but
is not a common native plant, and probably is often an escape from cultivation.
In America it is probably even more common as an escape than Spearmint,
having long been known and grown in gardens. Peppermint Oil Properties
