Mint is native to the Mediterranean, but is now grown in other countries in Europe, America, and Asia. The discoveries show that mint has been used since ancient times in Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, and Japan. According to Greek myth, a nymph named Mentha was turned, in a fit of rage, into a mint plant by the wife of her lover Persephone. According to Pliny, mint was used to crown the Greeks and Romans during the feasts. It has been used medicinally in England for the past few centuries.
