Herbal infusions

I love summer...a time for seeing so many different plant peoples re awakening and blossoming.

Last year I planted some spearmint and peppermint seeds..which grew quite quickly. This year they have been growing agin and have increased In number.

Today I was feeling a little yukky inside ,and sluggish probably due to enjoying some of my daughters home made sugary cookies yesterday. 

I went into my garden to see if there were any plant spirits that could help me..and straight away the pepermint came into my mind.

So I went to the pepermint..asked it which partI should take and Iit indicated to me some leaves on the bottom middle plant..I asked how many and it told me 5.

I picked them and then sang a sone in return for its help.

I washed the leaves and put them in a herbal ball and poured boiling water on them. I then covered the cup and leaft to infuse for 4ish minutes.

A few benefits of using pepermint ;

Helps reduce stomach acid and reflus and ulcers
Helps with headaches
Menstrual cramps

Clears and sooths digestion and stomache upsets.
