This is the variety of mint from which the Japanese medicinal oil is distilled. When the leaves are rubbed, the essential oils are released and the aroma is immediately familiar. It is used for rubbing or inhaling for colds, malaise, headaches, nausea or nervous restlessness. The fresh leaves are used externally for rubbing and internally as a tea. The high menthol content of the leaves has a cooling effect on the skin and promotes blood circulation.
