Peppermint | Bulk Herb | Digestive & Headache Comfort

HOW TO USE

Bright, cooling, and refreshingly versatile, organic peppermint is a caffeine-free, loose leaf bulk herb made for your daily ritual. 2oz brews approximately 15 to 20 cups of loose leaf herbal tea.

Steep one to two teaspoons in 8oz of just-boiled water for 5 to 7 minutes, covered, to preserve the volatile oils. Don't over-steep, it can turn bitter. Enjoy after meals for digestive comfort, or between meals for a refreshing afternoon ritual. Cold brewed peppermint makes a crisp iced tea: steep two tablespoons in cold water overnight.

Organic peppermint is one of the most beloved herbs in the world, enjoyed across cultures for its bright, cooling flavor and its long traditional use for digestive comfort. Herbalist-sourced by Kendra, founder and herbalist of The Herbal Scoop, our bulk peppermint is organic, sourced from a certified organic, kosher certified supplier, and sold in small batches from our herbal tea shop in Narrowsburg, NY so you always get the freshest, most potent peppermint available.

ABOUT THIS HERB

Peppermint (Mentha piperita): dried cut peppermint leaf, rich in menthol and menthone, the volatile oil compounds responsible for peppermint's cooling sensation. A review of multiple IBS studies found that peppermint oil capsules were associated with greater symptom comfort than placebo, and topical peppermint oil has been studied for tension headache comfort in a few small trials. 

Important: If you have diagnosed GERD or acid reflux, peppermint may worsen symptoms for some people by relaxing the muscle that keeps stomach acid down. Consult your healthcare provider if this applies to you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does peppermint tea help with IBS?
A review of multiple studies found that peppermint oil capsules were associated with better symptom comfort for people with IBS compared to placebo. Peppermint tea is a milder preparation than concentrated oil capsules, and many people find it a gentle, everyday complement to their routine. If you manage IBS, talk with your healthcare provider about whether peppermint oil capsules or tea fit into your overall care plan.

Does peppermint help with headaches?
Topical peppermint oil, diluted and applied to the temples, has been studied in a few small trials for tension headache comfort, with some research comparing it favorably to over-the-counter options. Peppermint tea itself hasn't been studied the same way, but many people find the ritual of a warm cup soothing during a tension headache.

Can peppermint tea make acid reflux worse?
For some people, yes. Peppermint can relax the lower esophageal sphincter, the muscle that keeps stomach acid from moving upward, which may worsen reflux symptoms in people prone to GERD. If you have acid reflux or GERD, talk with your healthcare provider before making peppermint a regular habit.

Is peppermint tea safe during pregnancy?
Peppermint tea, in normal culinary amounts, is generally considered fine for most pregnant people, though concentrated peppermint oil is treated more cautiously. As always, check with your healthcare provider about your specific situation.

Does peppermint tea have caffeine?
No. Peppermint is naturally caffeine-free, making it a good afternoon or evening option for anyone limiting caffeine while still wanting a refreshing, energizing ritual.
