Mint, the herb of hospitality

Mint is an aromatic plant with a pleasant and intense fragrance, which grows easily indoors, on a balcony, or a terrace, and can withstand high temperatures without requiring frequent watering. Known since ancient times for its beneficial properties, the Greeks used it not only in cooking but also as a remedy for various health problems.

In ancient Greece, mint was considered the “plant of hospitality” because of its strong yet relaxing fragrance that put those who smelled its aroma in a comfortable mood in a house. Legend has it that, during their journey to Olympus, Hermes and Zeus were welcomed by a poor peasant couple. Before offering them food and drink, they cleaned the table with mint leaves, making it a symbol of hospitality in Greek tradition.

Today, we still use the leaves and flowers of this extraordinary plant, whether in cooking to prepare savory and sweet dishes or as a remedy for various ailments. It is also possible to extract essential oil from its leaves to relieve sore throats, headaches, and even toothaches. In short, mint has amazing properties.

Use these leaves to make your own natural deodorant. Additionally, did you know that mint is a natural insect repellent? Its scent, pleasant to us, is unpleasant to some insects, especially flies and mosquitoes.
