Herb of the Month: Peppermint
Welcome to this month's Herb of the Month feature! I'm Ashley Elenbaas, and today we're diving into Peppermint or Mentha piperita. In this episode, I'll take you through the fascinating origins of peppermint and the mythology behind its name, which offers some clues about how it's been traditionally used. I'll also share my personal experience working with this powerful plant for digestive disorders and show you how to make a comforting hot tea with fresh peppermint and refreshing infused water.
