Crown & Mortar Apothecary

Good morning Apothecary Circle,

Yesterday I went on a nature trail at Goose Creek State Park and came across a plant I was not familiar with. So I looked it up and it turned out to be a plant from the mint family. (Perilla frutescens) commonly known as Perilla Mint is a fragrant herb that tastes like a mix of mint, basil, licorice, and citrus. This plant is an invasive in North Carolina that is used widely throughout Asian and Japanese cuisine.

This herb contains active compounds such as rosmarinic acid, luteolin, and omega 3 fatty acids. Its high content of rosmarinic acid can help with hay fever symptoms by blocking specific inflammatory pathways. This herb is also used as an expectorant to clear mucus and ease cough. It also acts as a carminative helping ease digestive discomfort, bloating, and gas.
