BODILY INFLUENCES: Quite, aside from being one of the most popular flavoring agents. The therapeutic value of Peppermint has its roots in herbal use from the beginning of man's first association with it. It has been sought out through the eons of time as a pleasant refreshment. Its leaves are chewed, teas are made from its leaves, as well as the oil. The use of these brings an exhilarating aromatic sensation as well as fresh oxygen for well-being. Mothers have long known a cup of tea will relieve baby's colic. A touch of peppermint oil to the tongue of a baby or adult pushes distressful gas from the body and settles the stomach (especially good to calm morning sickness). The oil's modern, innovative use is part of the Herbal Adjustment (explained under Herbal Adjustment in this web site). A partial list of Peppermint's additional corrective services is diarrhea, dizziness, convulsions, earache, fainting, fevers of all types, stomach and bowel gas, nausea, nervous headache, restlessness, motion sickness, spasms, toothache, vomiting, and heart palpitations.
