Preparation and amount: Infusion: Steep 5-15 min. Take 6 oz. 3-4 times daily. Tincture: Take 1/2-1 tsp. 3-4 times
daily. Fluid extract: Take 1/4 – 1/2
tsp. 3-4 times daily. Powder: Take
5-10 #0 capsules (30-60 grains) 3-4 times daily.
Purposes: Internally, the Mentha spicata species of spearmint
shares many of the properties of peppermint. It is often given for common
women’s problems and for suppressed or painful urination. An infusion combined
with horehound is sometimes given to children for fever.
- The Mentha viridus species is also nontoxic, and similar to peppermint in its uses. This herb is mainly used during colds, flus, cramps, indigestion, gas, and slight spasms. Combined with horehound, it is used to break fevers in children. It is good to stop vomiting and excellent when used as an enema for restlessness. Combined with pleurisy root and skullcap, it is a good remedy for pneumonia and pleurisy.
Note: Do not boil the herb, for the
volatile oil will be steamed off. Use it in bitter herb combinations, to add
flavor.
- The other mints are spearmint (Mentha spicata) and catnip (Nepeta cataria); both of these are dealt with elsewhere in this herb list.
I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
