Watermark, also known as mentha aquatica, is a perennial plant found in shallow water in Europe. It can be used in cooking, cleaning, and medicine, and is often crossed with spearmint to create new peppermint plants. It is also used in aromatherapy to ward off depression.
Known as mentha aquatica in scientific circles, watermark is a perennial plant found in many parts of Europe, particularly in the northern part of the continent. Often found in shallow areas of large bodies of water, watermark is often crossed with spearmint to aid in the creation of new peppermint plants. Unlike peppermint, filigree is an insect-pollinated plant, so new plants can be produced through pollination and rooting cuttings.
Shallow water, combined with somewhat acidic soil, is usually an ideal breeding ground for water tick. Generally, the plant will stay above the surface of the water and is characterized by leaves that have green and purple coloring and deep purple stems. Flowers on watermint plants are usually in the range of pink to lilac, with flowers appearing during the mid to late summer of the year. Leaves are particularly important in the use of watermarking and form the basis for most current applications.
In cooking, the dried filigree leaves can be used to make a great aromatic tea or mixed with other teas to create tasty combinations. The oil derived from the filigree plant can also be used to add flavor to oil and vinegar dressings, which can be used for green salads or to give a little more flavor to raw fruits and vegetables. Mint can also be added to cake batter, providing an unexpected burst of flavor to chocolate and lemon cakes.
Around the house, watermark can also be used in a variety of ways. For centuries, the plant has been used to provide natural pest control, as mice and flies are repelled by the watermark. As a cleanser, spinning is an excellent antiseptic when mixed with a small amount of water. As far as hygiene is concerned, the bar of soap can be used in soaps and mouthwashes, as well as as a facial astringent. A more recent addition to the various uses of watermark is part of the formula of some shower gels, as it offers many of the same benefits as bathing with products that contain peppermint.
Medicinally, spinning is also considered to be an excellent choice when it comes to cleaning superficial wounds, removing excess oil from the face, soothing ulcers, and helping to relieve indigestion. As part of aromatherapy, watermarking is considered an ideal option to help ward off depression and restore emotional balance. In some alternative medicine schools, it is recommended that watermint-based incense be burned to relieve stuffy noses and other mild, temporary cold symptoms. While watermark may not be used for as many different applications as spearmint or peppermint, there’s no question that the plant continues to be a treasured commodity throughout the home.
