Perennial ground cover mint used as flavouring or tea. Highly medicinal plant with many uses. Leaves can be used in tea as a digestive tonic and to help relieve headaches, menstrual complaints, minor respiratory infections and intestinal worms. Externally, an infusion is said to treat skin disorders and an infusion can be sprayed on the skin to deter mosquitos and midges. Caution: do not use if pregnant. The plant can also be used to repel fleas, ants, mosquitoes, rats and mice, but the flowers will attract bees and butterflies. Sun or part shade, but needs moisture.

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
