Mint

Brief Description

Mint is a perennial herb known for its aromatic leaves. It typically grows to a height of 10-120 cm and spreads widely. The leaves are usually opposite, simple, and serrated, and often have a textured or wrinkled appearance. The stems are frequently square-shaped.

Care Instructions

Mint prefers moist, well-drained soil and thrives in partial shade to full sun. It is a vigorous grower and can spread rapidly, so it is often best contained. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist. It can be propagated from cuttings or by dividing the root ball.

Medicinal Value

Mint is widely used for its digestive properties and to relieve nausea and indigestion. It is also used to freshen breath and has a soothing effect on the throat and respiratory system. Peppermint oil, derived from mint, is sometimes used topically for muscle aches.
