Where the World Meets the Island
Peppermint, along with other varieties of mint, has long been a go-to herb for treating various ailments. Previously, a steaming cup of mint tea, with its invigorating menthol aroma, was the common remedy for digestive issues and cold relief.
However, peppermint has recently gained recognition for its potential to elevate mood. This newfound appreciation stems from numerous professional studies on medicinal plants, illuminating their diverse health benefits.
Peppermint, black mint, and spearmint, originally native to the Mediterranean region, are widely cultivated in Jamaica and valued for their flavor, fragrance, and pharmaceutical properties.
The benefits of mint extend even to car rides. A 2015 study by Western Oregon University revealed that aromas like mint can enhance mood. Additionally, researchers found that participants exposed to the scent of peppermint exhibited increased alertness.
