Characteristics and symbolism of Peppermint
Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) is an herb that grows in various climates and regions and thrives in gardens and fields. The leaves are dark green and serrated and have a strong menthol scent. The plant has been valued for thousands of years in both Eastern and Western medicine for its refreshing and cooling properties.
Peppermint is therefore often associated with bringing new energy and symbolizes cleanliness and purity, both on a physical and spiritual level. In ancient Greek and Roman cultures, peppermint was seen as a symbol of hospitality and was often used in rituals and meals.
