Description
One of the most common aromatic plants, known since ancient times. In Greek mythology, it is said that it got its name from the bride of Hades Minthis who he transformed into a plant to avoid the jealousy of Persephone.
Many plants are referred to by the people as mint, most of which have nothing to do with the real mint which is the hybrid Peppermint.
The original piperita mint started to become widely known from North America. As an herb it is preferred to aid digestion after a heavy meal.
Piperita or peppery has an antiseptic and antibacterial effect and protects against oral herpes. Its antispasmodic action increases bile production by relaxing the bile duct muscles, which helps dissolve gallstones.
