Organic Peppermint Dried Mentha Piperita Botanical Aromatherapy Herbs Tea 1 Oz DESCRIPTION Organic Peppermint, Dried Herbs, Tea, Aromatherapy, Botanical, Organic Herbs, Ethically Sourced Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) Peppermint has been used for thousands of years for its medicinal properties as well as for its scent, cooling and soothing effects, and flavoring. It’s a member of the mint family Lamiaceae, as the name suggests, and native to Europe and the Middle East. Its mention can be traced back to Greek mythology and the New Testament. In Greek mythology, one story tells that Minthe the water nymph, who was loved by Hades, and was turned into a mint plant by Persephone or Demeter. In other tellings, she was turned to dust and so Hades made a mint plant grow from that dust. Either way, mint was considered a sacred plant of Hades and was likely used in funerals to mask the smell in ancient Greece. Dried mint leaves have even been found in ancient Egyptian pyramids and was also likely one of the herbs used in their funeral rites as well. Mint has been grown in Japan for the last 2000 years for its menthol, while the Romans flavored sauces and wine with it. The peppermint we know today was highly likely the same variety the Greeks, Egyptians, and Romans used; however, it wasn’t identified botanically until the late 1600s as it being a hybrid of watermint and spearmint. Peppermint is a versatile culinary and medicinal herb. Its most popular use is in desserts and in tea. It has been used for its digestive properties to reduce bloating, gas, and an upset stomach, its ability to freshen the breath, to cool nasal passages, and to reduce headaches. A poultice can be made from the leaves for topical use to ease muscle tension and when applied to the temples of the head, can ease a headache. When topically applied to the stomach, it has also been known to reduce stomach pain due to digestive symptoms. Drinking the tea can also relieve all of the symptoms described above. Some studies have concluded that menthol has antibacterial and antifungal properties, a probable reason why mint can help freshen the breath and why it’s found in dental plaque-removing mouthwash and toothpaste. The vapors of the hot tea contain menthol, and just inhaling this may help reduce nasal congestion. In addition to relieving indigestion, headaches, and nasal passages, peppermint tea may also relieve menstrual cramps due to its anti-inflammatory properties from mefenamic acid. To make peppermint tea, add 1 Tbsp. of dried peppermint leaves into 1 cup of boiling water. Steep for 5 minutes. Chamomile and lemon are a popular addition to peppermint tea. To make a cooling and refreshing peppermint lemonade for a hot summer day, make some peppermint tea and set aside to cool. Add some tea, cool water, lemon juice, and a sweetener for taste to a large pitcher and stir. Disclaimer:This statement has not been evaluatedby the FDA.
