Like all mints, fine leaf water mint is a good source of vitamin C when served fresh. It also contains vitamin A. 

It is also used as a traditional treatment for anxiety  and insomnia. Most people prepare a tea using fresh leaves and steep for several, minutes depending on taste. Honey makes a natural sweetener for tea.
