Magickal Uses

Peppermint has long been used in healing and purification spells. Its presence raises the vibrations of an area. Smelled, it compels one toward sleep, and placed beneath the pillow it sometimes offers one glimpses of the future in dreams.

It is rubbed against furniture, walls and floorboards to cleanse them of evil and negativity. Pliny stated that peppermint excites love, and so can be added to this type of mixture.

Medicinal Uses

Parts used: Leaves & Flower Tops

Traditionally peppermint has been used as a digestive aid because of its anti-spasmodic properties. The menthol vapors found in peppermint can help in the breaking up of congestion in the chest and sinus areas when used as a chest rub. Because of the anti-spasmodic qualities of the mints it is not only soothing to the smooth muscle of the GI track but also of the uterus as well. Peppermint can also be used when a slight pick me up is needed!

As with any medicine, use care and knowledge when taking herbs. Their medicine can be strong and effective when used properly. For dosage and side effects seek the advice of a health care practitioner.
