With its aromatic essential oils, including menthol, peppermint helps soothe the stomach, open the airways, and refresh the mind.

✔️ Respiratory health: Clears congestion, soothes coughs, and opens airways
✔️ Headache & tension relief: Helps ease migraines and tension-related discomfort
✔️ Muscle relaxation: Traditionally used to relieve cramps and spasms
✔️ Cooling & soothing: Helps reduce excess heat in the body, making it great for fevers or hot flashes
How to Use
🌿 Tea/Infusion: Steep dried peppermint leaves for a crisp, digestion-supporting tea
🌿 Tincture: A concentrated extract for digestive relief and mental clarity
🌿 Capsules: A convenient option for gut health and irritable bowel relief
🌿 Herbal Steam or Inhalation: Inhale for respiratory support and sinus relief
🌿 Topical Use: Infuse in oil or use diluted peppermint essential oil for muscle relief
Sustainability & Sourcing

Safety & Considerations
⚠️ May relax the lower esophageal sphincter—avoid if prone to acid reflux or GERD
⚠️ Can be drying over time—best combined with moistening herbs for balance
⚠️ Avoid applying concentrated peppermint essential oil near the eyes or on sensitive skin
⚠️ Safe for most individuals, but not recommended for infants or young children in concentrated forms due to its strong menthol content
