GENERAL INFO, HISTORICAL NOTES, CURIOSITIES

Menthol is a chiral alcohol that is obtained by extraction from the essential oil of a very common species of mint: peppermint.
It was discovered more than two thousand years ago in Japan, although it was already used in ancient times as a medicinal herb by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans.
The plant also has a legendary origin: Minthe was a naiad nymph, born from the waters of the infernal river Cocytus, who fell madly in love with the god of the Underworld, Hades. Persephone, wife of Hades, did not accept her betrayal and, feeling humiliated, transformed the nymph into a plant without flowers and condemned her for eternity to cause "frost" on her tongue for her ignominy; for this reason, according to the myth, chewing mint leaves causes a cold and burning sensation on the palate.
Today it is sold in the form of needle-like crystals produced by the crystallization of Japanese Mint oil at a temperature of -22 ° C!
