Peppermint - 250 mg - 100 capsules

○ Latin name: Mentha x piperita ○ Dosage: 250 mg per capsule Peppermint is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Lamiaceae (or Labiaceae) family. It is the result of a natural cross between water mint (Mentha aquatica) and spearmint (Mentha spicata). Peppermint is a perennial plant that usually reaches a height of 30 to 90 centimeters. It has square, erect, branching stems with opposite, oval, serrated leaves. The leaves give off a fresh, minty scent when crushed. The plant is also famous for its refreshing aroma and intense minty flavor. It is this characteristic that gives it its name "peppermint", as it is slightly reminiscent of the taste of pepper. Peppermint produces flowers in pale mauve to purple color clusters. These flowers are rich in nectar and attract bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
