Mentha pulegium, commonly (European) pennyroyal, also called squaw mint, mosquito plant and pudding grass, is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae native to Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Crushed pennyroyal leaves exhibit a very strong fragrance similar to spearmint. Pennyroyal is a traditional culinary herb, it was commonly used as a cooking herb by the Greeks and Romans. The ancient Greeks often flavored their wine with pennyroyal. Although it was commonly used for cooking in the Middle Ages, it gradually fell out of use as a culinary herb and is seldom used as such today, only the use as a spice is acceptable. Medicinal uses - the fresh or dried leaves of pennyroyal have been used when treating colds, influenza, abdominal cramps, employed as an emmenagogue (menstrual flow stimulant) or as an abortifacient. Pennyroyal is used to make herbal teas, which, although not proven to be dangerous to healthy adults in small doses, is not recommended, due to its known toxicity to the liver. Consumption can be fatal to infants and children. Pennyroyal essential oil should never be taken internally because it is highly toxic; even in small doses, consumption of the oil can result in death. Poisoning fatalities have been reported after repeated application of the essential oil as an abortifacient. Pennyroyal leaves, both fresh and dried, are especially noted for repelling insects. Early settlers in colonial Virginia used dried pennyroyal to eradicate pests. Pennyroyal was such a popular herb that the Royal Society published an article on its use against rattlesnakes in the first volume of its Philosophical Transactions in 1665. One of the songs of the group «Nirvana» - «Pennyroyal Tea» - devoted to the Mentha pulegium. Kurt Cobain took it from abdominal pain and said that in the song it performs a symbol of purification.: www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=2561 This song is about making a tough decision, the difficult choices around it, and the guilt following it. Pennyroyal Tea can induce an abortion when drunk in large quantities. Due to its toxicity, however, drinking a lot of it is very dangerous. Nirvana played this on their MTV Unplugged special, which was recorded shortly before Kurt Cobain killed himself. The album was released about 6 months after his death, and went to #1 in both the UK and US. www.youtube.com/watch?list=SRnirvana%20pennyroyal%20tea&a...
www.youtube.com/watch?list=SRnirvana%20pennyroyal%20tea&a... “Pennyroyal Tea” была написана осенью 1990 года, когда уже стало ясно, что НИРВАНА подпишет контракт с Geffen Records. “Мы с Дейвом от нечего делать писали все подряд на обычный четырехдорожечник, и я придумал эту песню за полминуты, - вспоминал Курт. - Потом я сел и за полчаса написал к ней слова, и мы записали ее”. Мята болотная, вынесенная в название этой песни, является лекарственным растением, которое среди прочих других обладает абортивными свойствами, но только в токсических дозах. “Мне казалось, это классный образ, - рассказывал Курт. - Я знал девушек, которые пили эту траву, потому что думали, что беременны. Это тема очищения: я пытаюсь изгнать из себя всех своих злых духов с помощью мятного чая. Его нужно выпить очень много, и, я слышал, он действует не очень хорошо. Я никогда не мог найти трав, которые бы мне помогли. |
