The article analyzes the raw materials of the terrestrial part of a perennial spicy-aromatic plant of the family (Lamiaceae Lindl.) Mentha piperita L., introduced into the forest-steppe zone of the South Urals, for the content of 37 chemical elements. The studied species proved to be a concentrator of chemical elements. Mentha piperita L., is an accumulator: in the terrestrial part of this plant, the concentration of three elements (zinc, molybdenum, silver) was higher than in the soil. The content of most of the studied elements in the terrestrial part of the plant does not go beyond the limits of fluctuations of chemical elements in plants growing in the Republic of Bashkortostan. Our data on the content of chemical elements in the object of study allow us to offer peppermint to reduce or eliminate the imbalance of zinc and molybdenum elements in the body.
