In the early days of The Herb Farm, we often welcomed busloads of tourists eager to explore our garden herbs. One of the most memorable visits was from a group of tourists from Thailand. The tour was going smoothly until I noticed that their translator was struggling to speak. He had laryngitis and could only whisper hoarsely, which made it difficult for him to communicate with the group.
As we walked through the garden herbs tour, we came across a patch of Japanese Menthol Mint. I knew about its soothing properties and suggested that the translator chew on a leaf and slowly swallow it. He was a bit unsure but agreed to try it. We continued with the tour, and by the time we finished, he had chewed through a few leaves.
To everyone’s surprise, by the end of the hour, his voice had returned to almost normal. He was so amazed by the results that he even broke into song! It was such a joyful moment, and we were all thrilled to see such an immediate improvement.
Japanese Menthol Mint has powerful natural benefits. It has long been used to relieve throat discomfort and improve respiratory health. The menthol in the leaves helps to clear the airways and ease irritation, making it perfect for soothing sore throats or hoarseness.
This experience remains one of the highlights of my time doing garden tours at The Herb Farm. It’s incredible to see how nature’s remedies can work wonders in such a short amount of time.
