Wild Mint
essential oil, also known as 'Cornmint', is for use in many of the same ways as peppermint, and historically has been used as such. From Julia Lawless, in The Encyclopedia of Essential Oils:"...the bruised leaves are applied to the forehead to relieve nervous headache. In the East, it is used to treat rheumatic pain, neuralgia, toothache, laryngitis, indigestion, colds and bronchitis. In Chinese medicine, it is also employed for relieving earache, treating tumors and some skin conditions."
