PEPPERMINT



Peppermint is sometimes regarded as 'the world's oldest medicine', with archaeological evidence placing its use at least as far back as ten thousand years ago.

In the year 2004 it was elected as the Medical Plant of the Year.

Peppermint, like many spices and herbs, is believed to have medicinal properties when consumed.
It is said that it helps against upset stomachs, inhibits the growth of certain bacteria,
 and can help soothe and relax muscles when inhaled or applied to the skin.
Inhaling the vapor from peppermint oil or peppermint tea is said to reduce congestion.
Other health benefits are attributed to the high manganese, vitamin C and vitamin A content;
as well as trace amounts of various other nutrients such as fibre, iron,
calcium, folate, potassium, tryptophan, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, riboflavin, and copper.

Peppermint tea is a drink that is either a mixture of tea and peppermint (Mentha piperita) or a tisane (infusion) of peppermint alone.
This drink is said to have health benefits.
Tea made solely from peppermint leaves is naturally caffeine-free.

Our Peppermint grows on the property and is picked by hand,
gently dehydrated and packed in 20g envelopes.

Tips on Handling Medicinal Plants / Herbs:

• If possible, buy herbs that are grown organically - without pesticides.

• Medicinal parts of plants are best harvested on sunny mornings. Avoid picking leaves, fruits or nuts during and after heavy rainfall.

• Leaves, fruits, flowers or nuts must be mature before harvesting. Less medicinal substances are found on young parts.

• After harvesting, if drying is required, it is advisable to dry the plant parts either in the oven or air-dried on screens above ground and never on concrete floors.

• Store plant parts in sealed plastic bags or brown bottles in a cool dry place without sunlight preferably with a moisture absorbent material like charcoal. Leaves and other plant parts that are prepared properly, well-dried and stored can be used up to six months.

Tips on Preparation for Intake of Herbal Medicines:

• Use only half the dosage prescribed for fresh parts like leaves when using dried parts.

• Do not use stainless steel utensils when boiling decoctions. Only use earthen, enamelled, glass or alike utensils.

• As a rule of thumb, when boiling leaves and other plant parts, do not cover the pot, and boil in low flame.

• Decoctions loose potency after some time. Dispose of decoctions after one day. To keep fresh during the day, keep lukewarm in a flask or thermos.

• Always consult with a doctor if symptoms persist or if any sign of allergic reaction develops.
