Mint is the second herb we’re going to look at. Again, it has a very uplifting and rrefreshing scent. Just crush a few leaves and breathe it in, if your head is wrecked from doing too much homework, or if you’ve a head cold. A cup of mint tea can help settle an upset tummy (just pour some hot water over some leaves – ask an adult to help) and of course mint is used in lots of hand creams, shower gels and the like. (If you see menthol on the list of ingredients that’s mint!)
The roots of mint are inclined to ramble if planted in the ground, so to contain it, plant it in a pot first and sink it in the ground.
