Botanical Name: Minthostachys setosa Description: Muna-Muna is a multi-branched, small leaved deciduous shrub prized for its medicinal and aromatic values. Essential oils can also be extracted and sold as a concentrate. Muna muna also known as Andean Mint, is a shrub, usually growing from 30 to 200 high, with white flowers and aromatic leaves (2.700 3.100 m). Used to support the respiratory system as well as a digestive aid. Muna Muna Extract is concentrated to provide strength, ease of digestion, and rapid assimilation. Of Interest: The "mint-like" aromatic herbs of the genus Minthostachys are limited to the Andean zones of South America, with perhaps 12 species distributed at various altitudes from Venzuela to Argentina. The plethora of integrating phenotypes typical of Minthostachys spp. adds uncertainty to species determination. The use of vegetative characters to separate species is confounding. Species are separated by counting and measurement of calyx ribs. History: Peppermint and its name has its roots in Greek mythology. Pluto - god of the dead - fell in love with Minthe, a beautiful nymph. Pluto's goddess wife Persephone became jealous and turned Minthe into a plant. Pluto could not bring her back to life but ensured that she would have a wonderful and fragrant aroma. Properties: Cooling, analgesic, antispasmodic, anesthetic, decongestant, emmenagogue, expectorant, febrifuge, insecticide and stimulant. Benefits: From the temperate zones of South America, this medium-sized herbaceous plant is an excellent carminative (dispels gas accumulation in the stomach) and general aid to the digestive system (stomach acid, indigestion, bacterial diarrhea, parasites).
