The herb is supposed to be cooling, but I have avoided drinking it because I have had experience in more recent years that the peppermint used in candies will coat and burn longterm in my digestive system.
However, yesterday’s health fair exploration took us to a booth of soaps, scrubs, and teas. As I turned away commenting mildly to my youngling that I could not focus my eyes to read due to a pressure headache, the proprietor leapt up to assist me.
She briskly grasped a bag of fresh peppermint tea with hibiscus flowers mixed into it, opened it, and presented the aromatic haven for me to breath in deeply. My sinuses immediately began opening as if letting in a fresh breeze and my brain fog began clearing from psycbological releif.
I had not considered that mixing the two herbs could be a perfect compliment of tart, purgative flowers soothing the mint uplifting pervascence. And, the wonderful smell and the woman’s gesture made me feel happy – so of course we bought the bag and some of her boothmate’s homemaid marionberry jelly!
