The wild growing peppermint, one of innumerable mint varieties, can only be found in Central and Southern Europe. It is cultivated in the entire European, Northern African and North American areas today. Peppermint has a pure, refreshing, menthol like character. Due to the cultivation of many different mint varieties over a long period of time, the once original wild-growing species has been changed a lot.

The stinging nettle itself is only one variety of the plant, which is collectively named “nettle plant”. In Europe, approximately 45 varieties of this plant can be found.
