Peppermint might be a common garden plant, but don’t let its familiar scent fool you—this minty green marvel is far from ordinary! Technically, peppermint is an herb, not a spice, even though it can add a zesty kick to your dishes and drinks. Its refreshing aroma and cooling sensation make it a favorite in everything from toothpaste to tea. Beyond its culinary charm, peppermint packs a punch in the medicinal world. It's known for soothing digestive woes, easing headaches, and even helping with respiratory issues.
But peppermint doesn't just work wonders on its own. When paired with other powerhouse herbs like garlic or Siberian ginseng, it can really shine. For instance, in a herbal blend with garlic, peppermint can amplify garlic's digestive and anti-inflammatory benefits, creating a harmonious duo for gut health. When combined with Siberian ginseng, peppermint enhances the ginseng’s stress-busting properties, adding a refreshing twist to your wellness routine and supporting overall vitality.
Now, peppermint might be a common garden plant, but growing it organically on a commercial scale is no small feat. The farm manager of Nutrilite's Trout Lake East in Washington state notes that most growers give up within three years due to weed problems. Despite this, Trout Lake East has been successfully cultivating organic peppermint for 20 years, proving that persistence and a bit of innovation can keep this cool herb thriving.
