In ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, mint was used to treat indigestion and sooth the stomach. In fact, peppermint leaves have been found in Egyptian pyramids dating back to 1,000 B.C.

By the 18th century, in Western Europe, peppermint was used for nausea, morning sickness, vomiting, menstrual disorders and respiratory infections. Mint was listed in the London Pharmacopoeia in 1721 as a remedy for colds, headaches, sores, and venereal disease.

In South Africa, dried mint leaves were burned and the smoke inhaled as a treatment against mental illness. Recently, scientists have confirmed the effectiveness of these ancient practices through numerous studies demonstrating that mint can regulate the nervous system.

Science has confirmed that plantain is an anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, antiviral, pain-blocker, antidiarrheal, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti-tumor, and immune-modulator.
