A small flowering plant of the mint family, with aromatic leaves sometimes used in herbal teas and traditional medicine.
From Latin 'calaminthia', derived from Greek 'kalaminthē' (reed-like mint), combining 'kalamos' (reed) + 'mintha' (mint). The name describes a mint that grows slim and reed-like.
Calamint has been used for over 2,000 years to calm nervous systems, and its name literally means 'reed-like mint'—ancient herbalists named plants based on what they looked like.
