Peppermint is native to the Mediterranean but is now grown in other countries in Europe, America, and Asia. Findings show that peppermint has been used since ancient times in Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, and Japan. According to Greek myth, the wife of her lover, Persephone, turned a nymph named Mentha into a plant in a fit of rage. According to Pliny, peppermint was used to crown Greeks and Romans during feasts. It has been used for medicinal purposes in England for the last few centuries.
