Mentha x piperita
Peppermint can help relieve headache, indigestion, reduce mental fatigue, increase alertness, relieve nausea, relieve itching and is effective in repelling insects.
Peppermint is a great aid with the respiratory system. When used via steam inhalation, it will bring relief to head colds, bronchitis, blocked nose and most useful in asthma.
It is currently in the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia for intestinal colic, flatulence, common cold, vomiting in pregnancy and dysmenorrhea.
The herb has been used extensively since the ancient times; the Chinese and Japanese cultivated back then as a folk medicine, the ancient Greeks and Romans valued it as a stomach soother, the Egyptians used it as a remedy for indigestion and the dried peppermint leaves were found in their tombs dating from 1000 BC!
Steam inhalation for colds and coughs
- Pour hot water into a bowl.
- Add 5 – 10 drops of Peppermint EO, and another choice of these selections (Tea Tree, Thyme, Rosemary, Eucalyptus) and cover your head and the bowl with a large bath towel. Place your face at a comfortable distance above the bowl.
- Inhale the hot steam for 10 minutes or until the water cools down. This can be done several times a day.
Refreshing + whitening toothpaste
- To make your very own teeth whitening toothpaste, you just need the following ingredients: 1 tablespoon Coconut oil, 1 teaspoon of Turmeric powder, 1 or 2 drops of Peppermint EO. (You may also add a drop of Myrrh CO2 and Clove bud EO for more oral benefits.)
- Blend your three ingredients together in a small bowl until it is a smooth paste.
- Apply some to your toothbrush, but be aware that the turmeric may stain your toothbrush bristles yellow.
- Brush your teeth thoroughly and rinse off as per normal.
