Camomile Mint Herbal Full flavored Camomile blended with Washington State mint to produce a refreshing yet relaxing cup. The best peppermint comes from the northwestern United States. The pure, moist mountain air of the spring and early summer growing season gives this peppermint some of the highest volatile oil counts of any member of the mint family. Generally (dependent upon weather patterns) the second cut (takes place during mid/end August) is the most flavorful, coolest and most pungent, (literally takes your breath away and makes your eyes water). Peppermint is an herb and contains no caffeine. Quite often peppermint is consumed after meals as the oils stimulate the flow of bile to the stomach and helps relieve gas pains. Additionally, it has been reported and written that peppermint sweetens the breath and calms the digestive system, plus it helps heartburn, stomach ache and nausea. There are several varieties and countries of origin of Chamomila
- sometimes referred to as bachelor buttons because of the shape of the
flower heads - but the best quality comes from Egypt. The sandy loam
and nutrients from the Nile
create perfect growing conditions. Camomile flowers have a yellow
center and white petals - they almost look like a daisy. Essential oils
in the flowers produce a soothing pleasant aroma and a fruity character.
In some parts of Europe, particularly southern France,
camomile plants have been strewn on floors or pathways to give the area
a good scent. Camomile can be made into a pleasant aromatic tea which
is slightly bitter but with a fruity flavor. It is often sipped for
relief of health problems ranging from toothache to nervousness.
Camomile has also been noted as beneficial for soothing headaches and is
a natural relaxing herb known to assist the restless and those
suffering from insomnia. In many circles Camomile is called nighty night
tea or sleepy tea on account of its natural properties which promote
restfulness and drowsiness.
