Peppermint Herbal Remedy

Peppermint is one of the most widely used and best-loved medicinal herbs. Known for its refreshing aroma and cooling taste, it has been valued for centuries in both culinary and healing traditions. With its natural menthol content, peppermint offers soothing benefits for digestion, the respiratory system, and overall vitality.

Medicinal Uses

• Digestive Support – Relieves indigestion, bloating, gas, nausea, and stomach cramps
• Antispasmodic – Helps ease muscle spasms in the digestive tract and can be used for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Respiratory Health – Opens the airways, eases congestion, and soothes coughs and colds
• Headache Relief – Peppermint oil applied externally can relieve tension headaches and migraines
• Pain Relief – Provides a cooling effect that helps with sore muscles and minor aches
• Antimicrobial – Natural antibacterial and antiviral properties support the body in fighting infections
• Mental Clarity – Its invigorating aroma can enhance focus, concentration, and alertness

Precautions

• Not recommended for infants and young children as menthol may affect breathing
• Excessive internal use may cause digestive irritation in sensitive individuals
• Should be avoided in cases of severe acid reflux, as it can relax the lower esophageal sphincter and worsen symptoms
• May interact with certain medications such as antacids or drugs that reduce stomach acid

Peppermint is a versatile and refreshing herbal remedy with benefits ranging from digestive and respiratory support to headache relief and improved mental clarity. Its cooling and soothing actions make it an essential herb for both everyday wellness and targeted natural healing.

Available Formats: Elixir, Tincture, and Glycetract

We offer this herbal remedy in three different preparations to suit a variety of health needs, taste preferences, and sensitivities. Whether you're looking for a traditional alcohol-based tincture, a sweet and nourishing elixir (also contains alcohol), or a gentle alcohol-free glycetract, you can choose the form that’s right for you or your loved ones.

Glycetract (Glycerite)

Glycetracts are alcohol-free extracts made using vegetable glycerin and water. They are ideal for those who are sensitive to alcohol, including children, pets, or those with liver conditions. While they are not always as potent as tinctures, they are still effective and particularly well-suited for milder conditions or long-term support.

Best for: Children, pets, those avoiding alcohol, or for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding (with practitioner advice).

Elixir

Elixirs are traditional herbal preparations made using a blend of alcohol, Glycerin, and water. They are often used when you want both therapeutic action and a palatable, sweetish flavour, especially for those who prefer not to taste the bitterness of herbs.

Best for: Adults and children - ages 1+, general wellness and those who dislike bitter tinctures.

Tincture

Tinctures are highly concentrated herbal extracts made using alcohol as a solvent. This is one of the most effective ways to extract the full medicinal spectrum of most herbs, including alkaloids, essential oils, and resins.

Best for: Adults or those looking for fast, potent results. Not ideal for those sensitive to alcohol, reformed alcoholics or for young children under 1.

By purchasing and using these tinctures, you accept full responsibility for their use and agree to do so at your own discretion. For any questions about these products, please reach out to us prior to purchasing.

Which One Should I Choose?

• Want the strongest, fastest effect? Choose a Tincture.
• Prefer a sweeter, more nourishing option? Go for an Elixir.
• Need something gentle and alcohol-free? Opt for a Glycetract.
