Name:\u00a0 Peppermint<\/p>\n
Latin:\u00a0 Mentha piperita<\/p>\n
Other Common Names:<\/p>\n
Family:\u00a0 Mint<\/p>\n
Parts Used:<\/p>\n
Vitamins\/Minerals:\u00a0 Calcium<\/p>\n
Used for:\u00a0 Fights inflammation, is a bronchiodilator, has some effect against headaches, can be a coffee substitute, and is an effective element in cold and flu preparations.\u00a0 It is also good for most digestive issues.\u00a0 It can ease pain, and supports proper liver and nerve function.\u00a0 One of the reasons it makes a good coffee substitute is that the stimulation it gives comes from a healthier angle.\u00a0 Peppermint stimulates because of the nutritive value and by increasing circulation.\u00a0 It wakes the system up, rather than agitating it.\u00a0 Because it is kind of a catchall, I often use it to make medicinal teas more palatable, as it assists in mitigating unpleasant flavours.<\/p>\n

Uses for Pets:<\/p>\n
Directions & Warnings:<\/p>\n
Edibility:\u00a0 So many different ways.\u00a0 In water, in tea, in cocoa, in lemonade, in cookies, in cakes, in frosting, in…..\u00a0 I also saw a suggestion for mixing sprigs of it in with peas, which I will have to try.<\/p>\n
Other Uses for:\u00a0 Bugs don’t like it when fresh and growing, so it can be used as a barrier along a house, or as an assist for more delicate plants.<\/p>\n
Growing:\u00a0 Mint likes shade, so if you have a darker area that you aren’t sure what to plant, mint is a good fill-in.\u00a0 A bit literally, actually, because it really likes space, and will propagate itself in a number of ways all over the place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
