River Mint

river mintThis rambling mint bush (Mentha australis) is found across south eastern Australia in moist forests and around waterways.  A subtle Australian native herb with the taste and aroma of spearmint. Early inhabitants used River Mint for medicinal purposes.

River Mint is summer growing, thriving along the riverbanks after flood, particularly in the Murray Darling Basin waterways. It was enthusiastically embraced by the early settlers and used with their roast lamb.

Makes an interesting mint tea, which is reputedly good for easing the effects of colds. The crushed leaves were sniffed to relieve headache.
