Background and Use

The best use of this herb is as a wonderful refreshing tea. The custom of having a mint following a meal dates back to ancient Rome and has been a favorite natural remedy for indigestion since that era. Peppermint was not used formally in medicine until the mid-18th century, and to this date remains the most widely used essential oil. The Peppermint leaves can be substituted for fresh leaves when the fresh is not available. Many recipes from the Middle East use Peppermint.

Marshmallow has been used in traditional European medicine for more than 2,000 years. Its genus name Althaea comes from the Greek word "altho" which means "to cure." Marshmallow root and extract were formerly official entries in the United States Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary. In Germany, Marshmallow is used in a standard medicinal tea. The German Commission E reports the use of Marshmallow for soothing oral mucous membranes, stomach and bronchial tract.  Confectionery Marshmallows were once made from this plant, however, they now primarily contain sugar.

Belonging to the mint family, Lemon Balm makes a wonderfully refreshing tea. Traditionally used in herbal medicine as a calmative and/or sleep aid and for the digestive system.

German Chamomile has been used as a traditional medicine and tea for thousands of years; valued for its calming properties. Today, it is included in approximately 26 national pharmacopeias, worldwide.  Traditionally used in herbal medicine as a calmative and/or sleep aid and for the digestive system.
