DRIED PEPPERMINT LEAF Mentha x piperita

Dried peppermint leaf is one of the most universally loved and widely used herbs on the planet — and for good reason. The cool, refreshing menthol in peppermint delivers an instantly recognizable, invigorating sensation that is as pleasurable as it is medicinal. Used across ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman cultures, and embraced by virtually every traditional medicine system worldwide, peppermint is a true all-purpose herb for body and mind.
 
Peppermint is most renowned for its powerful support of digestive comfort. Menthol relaxes the smooth muscle of the gastrointestinal tract, helping to ease bloating, gas, indigestion, and stomach cramps. It is also a beloved herb for respiratory support — inhaling peppermint steam or drinking peppermint tea provides natural, cooling relief for congestion and sinus pressure. Its uplifting aroma also makes it a gentle, natural ally for mental alertness and headache relief.
