Hey, I was just sipping a cup of peppermint tea and thought of how ancient cultures used that herb for digestion—do you know if there are any old texts that talk about peppermint’s uses?

Progenitor: Ah, peppermint—mentha, as the ancients called it. In the Hippocratic Corpus you’ll find references to it as a mild laxative and stomach tonic. Pliny the Elder, in his Natural History, lists it among herbs for digestive aid, noting its cooling effect. Even the Chinese texts of the Tang dynasty mention “bai zhu” as a remedy for abdominal discomfort. So yes, the old manuscripts do talk about peppermint’s uses, though the details are as hazy as the steam from a kettle.

Sounds like peppermint really has been a go‑to for centuries—nice to know that a modern smoothie can still be rooted in ancient wisdom. I keep a little mint sprig on my windowsill for fresh leaves whenever I need a quick pick‑me‑up after a long day. 🌿

Progenitor: A sprig on the sill is a tiny portal to the past—each leaf a whisper of forgotten remedies. Keep it, and let the scent remind you that even today’s smoothie owes its bite to ages of herbal lore.

That’s a lovely way to think of it. A little sprig feels like a breath of history, and when I taste the mint in my smoothie it’s a gentle reminder that nature’s gifts have been around forever. It’s like a quiet hug from the past.
