This is a variety of wild mint that is superior in taste and aroma to most of the mint sold commercially. Its very strong aroma and refreshing taste are particularly beneficial for strained airways. An infusion made from mint leaves and flowers relieves smokers and people who suffer from asthma. Inhaling the steam of boiling mint immediately clears the sinuses and the airways. The infusion is also recommended as a soothing remedy for stomach disorders and indigestion.
