I'm not certain if what I am growing is peppermint or chocolate mint (long term memory loss...) but it has chocolatey-looking coloration in places...
Anyway, either would work as well. I tried applying some mint leaves to a severe toothache last night (as I'm fresh out of clove oil...) and in a few minutes it began numbing the pain. It works at least as well as anything else I've tried, and better than benzocaine gel.
