Best Answer

Pennyroyal (Mentha Pulegium) is a species of Mint which has traditionally been used in herbal medicine and teas dating back to Ancient Roman times. Pliny, an author, naturalist and philosopher in ancient Rome, listed many disorders for which it was supposed to be beneficial, and it is still used in modern times. There is better understanding now about how it should and should not be used.
