Mint, one of the oldest medicinal herbs, is an ancient remedy recognized since 1,000 BC in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine and an effective Egyptian panacea. Mint originated in North Africa and the Mediterranean, where it was often used as a form of currency. In the Ebers Papyrus, an ancient Egyptian medical text dating back to 1550 BC, mint is described as having a soothing effect on stomachaches.
Mentha piperita is a hybrid herbaceous plant, obtained by crossing Mentha spicata and water mint (Mentha aquatica), being the most important commercial aromatic plant in the world and the most cultivated for obtaining steam-distilled essential oil.
As early as 1721, the plant was taken under the name Mentha piperitis sapore in the London Pharmacopoeia. At the same time, it was introduced to Central Europe by doctors where, together with chamomile, it became the most commonly used medicinal plant.
Today, mint leaves are used throughout the world, especially in Western and Middle Eastern countries, in the form of infusions, tinctures, teas, extracts and essential oils.
The flowers and leaves of the fresh plant are harvested by hand at the time of maximum flowering. The plant material is naturally steam distilled, the most efficient method used to extract volatile compounds and isolate the essence of the plant. The steam vaporizes the volatile compounds, which finally undergo a condensation and collection process, thus preserving the beneficial active principles that give the oil its renowned medicinal properties.
Due to its high content of menthone, menthol, flavonoids, tannins, polyphenols, triterpenes, tocopherols, carotenoids, minerals, isomenthone and the various isomers of menthol, Mentha piperita essential oil has the most diverse application of all essential oils.
Its pharmacological properties include anesthetic, antimicrobial, antifungal, anthelmintic and antioxidant effects. Peppermint helps improve digestion, freshens breath and improves concentration. In addition, Mentha piperita essential oil soothes allergies, headaches and clears clogged airways.
Peppermint oil is ideal for topical use, applied to the skin, to treat problems such as headaches, muscle and joint pain. Peppermint essential oil is also used to soothe inflammation, irritation and itching of the skin and scalp. It speeds up wound healing and is also presented as a natural remedy for soothing insect bites and relieving pruritus, a common skin infection that leads to rashes, hives and itching.
In aromatherapy, peppermint oil is used to treat coughs and colds, reduce pain, improve mental function and reduce stress.
