Declarations
:
: Both species of mint {horsemint (<i>Mentha longifolia</i>), and spearmint (<i>Mentha spicata</i> L)} were grown, and their samples were taken in accordance with all relevant institutional, governmental, and global regulations. Mint plants were exposed to turmeric curcumin which is a natural product and safe for human health. All specimens of treated plants used for analytical studies. The procedures employed to obtain the various samples (plant aerial parts: leaves, stems and flowers) of horsemint and spearmint were compliant with all applicable institutional, national, and international rules and law. There are no existing materials in institutional or museum collections.; not more than the very minimal number of specimens required to complete the research; when the research objectives allow it, used non-lethal sampling techniques instead of lethal collecting, and used preferential collection of post-reproductive individuals (or the life stage with the least reproductive value) when lethal collection is necessary to improve the chances of the species' survival; stored all gathered samples in facilities where they could be kept permanently and made available to other scientists, hence reducing the requirement for additional collections; timely provided permit-issuing organizations with copies of research-based studies and publications.
