Peppermint (Mentha × piperita) is one of the world’s most beloved herbs — valued for its crisp flavour, uplifting aroma, and gentle yet effective support for digestion, tension, and respiratory health. Popular in teas, blends, and cooking, it’s a staple in both folk remedies and daily rituals.
- Traditionally used to relieve indigestion, bloating, and mild cramping
- Soothes sore throats, tension headaches, and muscle aches (aromatically or topically)
- Refreshing and calming — helpful for stress, focus, and mental clarity
- Antispasmodic and cooling — useful for skin, sinus, and digestive relief
- Widely used in herbal blends, culinary recipes, beauty products, and DIY bath & body care
Tea: Steep 1–2 tsp in hot water for 5–10 mins. Drink after meals or before bed. Great on its own or with chamomile, licorice, or lemon balm.
Cold brew: Steep in cool water overnight and refrigerate for a summer drink or kombucha base.
Culinary: Use in teas, mint syrups, chocolate baking, lamb rubs, yogurt dips, or Middle Eastern dishes.
Baths & body care: Infuse into oils or muslin bags for cooling herbal baths. Great for foot soaks or soap making.
Pets: Used in moderation for breath, gas, or flies (e.g. dried in feed for horses or sachets in kennels). Not suitable for cats or young pups. Avoid essential oil.
Peppermint is one of the most universally loved herbal teas. Customers brew it daily for digestion, mix it with lemon balm or spearmint, or sip before bed for calm focus. It’s often blended with herbs for gut, sinus, and seasonal comfort. Add it to your sleepy teas, bath blends, or culinary experiments for a cool, clean note.
