Water mint...

Native to southern Europe, water mint is a wetland plant that thrives near ponds, lakes, streams, and rivers. Widely used in ancient times and up until the 18th century for its invigorating aromatic benefits, digestive properties, and ability to treat headaches, it was then abandoned in favour of spearmint, peppermint, and field mint.
