Peppermint is a hybrid herb, a natural cross between watermint and spearmint which is widely cultivated across Hungary, the United States and the UK. It has been used medicinally for thousands of years; dried peppermint leaves have been found in Egyptian pyramids dating back to 1000 BC. The ancient Greeks and Romans used it to flavour wines and sauces and to crown their dignitaries. It remains one of the most widely researched and versatile essential oils in the world and is one of the most frequently selected oils in zoopharmacognosy.
