Great for help with digestive issues, sinus problems, and tension headaches, our Peppermint Elysium is a go-to tea for many problems.

If you’ve fallen in love with Peppermint (Mentha piperita), you’re in good company, figuratively speaking. According to a myth from Ancient Greece, this cool herb gets its name from the nymph Menthe. So beautiful was Menthe that the god Pluto fell in love with her on sight. Naturally, this didn’t thrill his wife Persephone, who turned Menthe into a plant, so that she would be trod upon for the rest of time. Distraught, Pluto tried to reverse the spell but found he could not. What he could do however was infuse Menthe, (the plant version) with the sweet aroma we all know and love.

In addition to the soothing aroma provided, studies have shown that peppermint tea may also provide the following benefits:

• • Relief of digestive symptoms, such as gas, bloating, and indigestion

• • Relief of tension headaches and migraines

• • Fresher breath

• • Antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory benefits

• • Improved energy

• • Relief from menstrual cramps

• Improved concentration and focus

Includes 20 luxury pyramid tea bags.

 

Raquel’s Note

As a cancer survivor, chemo wreaked havoc on my body. I find that peppermint is an effective tool to help combat digestive issues and fight minor respiratory illnesses.
