Peppermint

Botanical Name: Mentha x piperita

Studies have shown the herb’s great potential in balancing bacteria growth, supporting respiratory health, and cooling the body when applied topically. 

Peppermint is a perennial and spreads via underground rhizomes. The herb is very versatile, tolerating wet soil but thriving in hot and dry climates.  Hotter and drier climates tend to bring out spicier characteristics.

We love enjoying this herb by itself in tea or facial steams, but it goes great in blends too.
