Jerusalem Mint- Peppermint Superior High Quality Essential Oil 10ml Israel

Peppermint has been in use for centuries. In the Ebers Papyrus from Egypt, which dates to about 1500 BCE, peppermint is mentioned by name as well as in the Hebrew Bible. Peppermint was cultivated by the ancient Israelites and Egyptians. Since the two lands boarders one another it was known as ”Canon Leaf”. Today it is been named “Jerusalem Mint”.

The synagogues in Israel 2000 years ago often at Shavuot had sprigs of mint sprinkled on the floor, so that the fragrance arose when they were walked on it. Shaw mentions this in Plants in the Missouri Botanical Garden (1884). Some sephardic synagogues still do this today in Israel.

And thereby put me to the test, says the L-rd of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
