It has hairy leaves with serrated edges and spiked purple flowers and spreads through its underground runners. It is one of the oldest documented medicinal herbs. Japanese peppermint is known for its high menthol content. Peppermint's name has its roots in Greek mythology. Hades, the God of the dead, pursued the beautiful nymph, Minthe. Hades' wife, Persephone, became jealous and turned Minthe into a small and insignificant plant to be trampled.
