Peppermint as a remedy

“The smell of Mint doth stir up the minde, and the taste to a greedy desire of meat.” – The Herball or Generall Historie of Plantes (1596) – J. Gerard

“A good posie for students to oft smell. It quickened the brain. ” – Herbs and Herb Lore of Colonial America

Peppermint was carried to the New World by European immigrants, where it escaped and grew in the wild. Colonists steeped and grew peppermint to drink as a tea, or sugared the leaves to eat as candy.
