Peppermint is a Wonderful Alternative Remedy

Fresh Peppermint

Peppermint is one of my all-time favorite herbs!

Today I just finished picking all of my Peppermint that has been growing in my garden.  I decided to pick it this morning due to the Winter Storm warning.

Other than the fact that Peppermint is good in ice cream, Hot Chocolates, flavored water, and desserts, I have found it to be beneficial as a tea and as a steam bath for my face.

Peppermint contains volatile oils:  Menthol and Methane.   These volatile oils are awesome for breathing in during a steam bath for the face or while drinking a Peppermint tea.  These volatile oils help to clear the nasal passages and sinus of congestion.  Great for head colds.

I know at times I get a stomachache.  In the past, I've used Ginger tea, Candied Ginger and Chamomile tea with success.   Peppermint tea also works. Renowned as a digestive aid, it calms down spasmodic muscles in the stomach.   Drinking a Peppermint tea or eating Peppermint after a meal can help with your digestion.  If you're prone to indigestion or sour stomach, try Peppermint after a meal.

Peppermint is also great for headaches.  The other day, my head was being a barometer for our Winter Snowstorm coming into our area.  My sinuses were partially clogged feeling, and my head was aching.  I made myself a Peppermint tea and slowly sipped it, breathing in all the volatile oils coming off it.  Within 30 minutes, my headache was feeling a lot better, and my sinuses were feeling a bit better also.

Peppermint is not only great for all the above, but it contains important nutrients.  Peppermint contains:  Magnesium, Potassium, and Calcium.

If you have access to fresh Peppermint, try sucking a chewing it when you need or want to have fresh breath.

I have used fresh Peppermint to flavor my water during the summer days.  Combining Peppermint leaves (a whole stem of them) with a sliced cucumber is really, really refreshing to drink.

Adding a fresh Peppermint leaf  in to your Hot Chocolate is really a treat.  If you only have dried Peppermint, just place it in a tea strainer to prevent the dried leaves from spilling over into your Hot Chocolate.

If you want a little extra energy without taking in caffeine, try drinking Peppermint tea or adding it to your preferred beverage.

Peppermint is an awesome herb, whether using for medicinal use or as an enjoyed food/beverage.
