Hyptis crenata (Brazilian Mint) is a shrub species of flowering plant in the Lamiaceae family, native to Bolivia and Brazil.[1] The genus Hyptis is commonly known as the bushmints. It is traditionally used for pain relief in Brazil. Its analgesic qualities have been supported by a study in rodents.[2][3]
