Mint

There are many different varieties of Mint. There are over forty of these, and it is probably the most widely-used herb at the present time. Its popularity goes back as far as the early Egyptians, and Mint has been used for centuries medicinally and in liqueurs. Liqueurs were originally produced in monasteries as warming and reviving cordials with the benefit of soothing the stomach and aiding digestion. Today, used principally as pleasant after-dinner drinks, liqueurs still help digestion, and Mint plays a large part in this effect.

From the large family of Mints, four are the most widely cultivated. They are all perennial, and can only be increased by layering or division. The roots of all mints spread rapidly and, unless checked, can virtually take over a garden.
