Calamintha Essential Oil

Calamintha Calamint Calamintha officinalis belongs to a genus closely related to both the Thymes and to Catnip and Ground Ivy. Originally from Great Britain and the continent it was been introduced to North America and now grows wild throughout the Eastern United States. It is an erect, bushy plant with square stems, rarely more than a foot high, bearing pairs of opposite leaves, which, like the stems, are downy with soft hairs. The flowers bloom in July and August, and are somewhat inconspicuous, drooping gracefully before expansion: the corollas are of a light purple colour. It is also known as Mill Mountain. Mountain Balm. Basil Thyme. Mountain Mint. The plant grows by waysides and in hedges, and is not uncommon, especially in dry places. It may be cultivated as a hardy perennial, propagated by seeds sown outdoors in April, by cuttings of side shoots in cold frames in spring, or by division of roots in October and April. ....more
