There are many varieties of mint. Mint picked after cooler nights contains more menthol. Peppermint is a menthol-rich plant. Refreshing and stimulating, menthol stimulates intellectual abilities and maintains concentration and alertness.

Peppermint is often used to aid digestion. The well-known mint aroma is known for both its warming and cooling potential, so it can be used for athletic training and muscle regeneration (joint pain, rheumatism).
