Newsletter 52: July 6, 2009 Mighty Mint“Pop some peppermint to soothe stomach pain, ease a headache, and boost your energy” by Drea Knufken, Natural Health Magazine, 2009 Menthol, manganese and vitamins C and A (natural compounds in peppermint) help soothe your system, stimulate helpful digestive enzymes, block the growth of bad bacteria and improve alertness. Try Peppermint one of these three ways to heal what ails you: TEA FOR YOUR TUMMY: Drink one cup of peppermint tea* before or after a meal to prevent indigestion. Pour one cup of boiling water over a heaping teaspoon of dried organic peppermint leaves and steep for five minutes, suggests Richard Mandelbaum, R.H. (AHG), a clinical herbalist in New York City. CAPSULES FOR CRAMPS: If you suffer from the cramping, constipation or diarrhea that comes with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), take one capsule of whole-leaf peppermint oil extract after a meal. Try Nature’s Way Peppermint Leaves* or Nature’s Herbs Ginger-Peppermint.* ESSENTIAL OIL FOR HEADACHES: Mix one drop of peppermint essential oil* into a teaspoon of almond oil* and rub it on both temples to relieve pain and refresh the senses, says Ellen Kamhi, Ph.D. R.N., author of the Natural Medicine Chest (M. Evans & Co 1999). Try pure essential oils from Aura Cacia. DIY Energy Boost: Mix three drops of peppermint essential oil with five teaspoons of spring water. Pour into a spray bottle, shake and spray. The scented mist will increase alertness and help you feel rejuvenated, says Ellen Kamhi, R.N. It can also help break up congestion from a cold. OTHER BENEFITS FROM PEPPERMINT OIL: Get rid of mice from your home naturally: Buy a bottle of 100% pure Peppermint Essential Oil. Place 1 or 2 drops of the oil on a cotton ball and place the cotton balls around the house where the mice are visiting. They will just leave the premises and keep them at bay. *Honeycomb Natural Foods Note: Look for these products in our store: Alvita Peppermint Leaf Tea 30 tea bags $6.39 Alvita Ginger-Peppermint Tea 24 tea bags $5.35 Traditional Medicinals Organic Peppermint Tea 16 tea bags $4.49 Nature’s Way Peppermint Leaves 100 ct $5.49 +Nature’s Herbs Ginger-Peppermint 100 ct $8.99 ++Aura Cacia Peppermint Oil ˝ oz $8.15 ++NOW Peppermint Oil 1 oz $5.99 +Heritage Almond Oil 8 oz $7.49 We also carry these products you might want to check out: Nature’s Way Pep-o-gest 60 ct soft gels $18.75 Solaray Digestion Blend SP-27 100 ct $9.49 (with peppermint) Health from the Sun My-Grastick $7.99 (Peppermint oil base stick used for headaches) And just for kids: Herbs for Kids – Gripe Water w/ Peppermint $11.99 ++These products are high demand items.
