In the photo, which plant is which? Steven G. JohnsonI don't know about Corsican mint, but it seems to me that neither plant is peppermint. Imc 09:55, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Poor wording
"Peppermint oil is also an all-natural way to deter ants from being inside and outside the home" .. which means they are nowhere? Wording should be clarified to "inside or around". Also, peppermint oil can be made synthetically, so the moniker "all-natural" is not necessarily meaningful. Also, it sounds like an advertisement or endorsement.
Sterile?
The article says "Peppermint (Mentha × piperita) is a (usually) sterile hybrid mint, a cross between Watermint (Mentha aquatica) and Spearmint (Mentha spicata)." (which is new to me, but seems plausible) and later "The wild form of the plant is less suitable for this purpose, with cultivated plants having been selected for more and better oil content."
Selection normally occurs through sexual reproduction. If it's sterile, how can plants be "selected"? --Singkong2005 05:20, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Medicinal Properties
I always eat peppermints candies when i have a headache and it normally works.
I was wondering if anyone knew to why that is. Does peppermint have some kind of effect to help get rid of headaches?
Works for me too User:Annonymous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.111.140.133 (talk) 03:13, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
should we add?
that peppermint is a good pet name?
Mint Uses
"Drinking peppermint tea will help the body break down, metabolize, or otherwise purge inhaled dust and other pollutants, which goes a long way in staving off sinus congestion, sore throats, and other cold symptoms."
Does anybody have a source for this? I don't think this has been proven anywhere, at least not when I searched Pubmed and Google. I am thinking of removing or rewording this paragraph in order to emphasize that this is folk medicine. Any thoughts? —Effika 22:38, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

References
This article references its central medical claim (about IBS) but I think there are other un-referenced statements throughout it. I wonder if there are specific references that can be added?
Here is an example statement that might benefit from a reference. "Peppermint is generally regarded as 'the world's oldest medicine', with archeological evidence placing its use at least as far back as ten thousand years ago."
I like this article and would appreciate it if someone could expand the section about claims of medicinal properties. Specifically have there been studies about those claims, and what conclusions were (or weren't) reached?
Thanks!! Erik 21:05, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
My wife has suffered from Vertigo for years now. We have tried everything or so we thought. We research it all the time and recently we read online that taking 3 drops of peppermint oil will relieve the symptoms. Crazy at it sounds my wife tried it and the results were immediate. She said she felt like she was 98% cured. So far, the symptoms have not returned.Willamette Valley

WP:ENGVAR
Enough already people. At this point, it doesn't matter which version of english is on the page (since peppermint is neither purely English or American). Just let it be (so long as it's consistent). Really, this is getting to be a case of Don't edit war over the colour of templates. Thanks. -- B figura 23:01, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I haven't dug through the history enough, but that seems reasonable to me (unless someone has diffs that assert otherwise). Now that the article is consistent, I don't think there's any reason to change it again (aside from reverting people who are attempting to change it piecemeal). Best, -- B figura 23:14, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
At the time of the first major contributor (Gurps npc) at 17:43, December 2, 2005, the article used American English. Up to that point it was consistently intermixed. Later it was re-intermixed until I fixed it (except for fibre which was also spelled fiber at some point) per WP:ENGVAR last May. To wholesale revert it now is a violation of WP:ENGVAR(Retaining the existing variety). VMS Mosaic 23:20, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Stepping in here as an admin – the species is native to Britain , but not native to the USA, so the regional spelling guidelines do apply. This takes precedence over first user, so the page should use BrE. - MPF 09:36, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
