Manasul Mint

Drinking MANASUL MINT (POLEO MENTA) tea is a cool, minty, invigorating, and stimulating experience. MANASUL MINT is made from Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium) that grows abundantly on the banks of the rivers in Northern Spain. The accumulation of calcaric sediments on these banks creates the perfect environment for pennyroyal to thrive and produce very high concentrations of essential oils and menthol that make this herb such an effective remedy. An infusion of POLEO MENTA revives after a long day. It can also be an effective headache remedy, decongestant, for colds, or simply as a refreshing substitute for morning coffee.

Pennyroyal is a species of Mint, a native of most parts of Europe and parts of Asia. Pliny, the Roman scholar, named it for its reputed power of driving away fleas, pulex being Latin for flea.

How does pennyroyal work?

Pennyroyal's volatile oils contain pulegone (between 27-92%), isopulegone, menthol, and other terpenoids. It also contains bitters and tannins. Similar to peppermint, pennyroyal is a good digestive tonic. It increases the secretion of digestive juices to relieve stomach complaints. It can also make a good remedy for headaches and respiratory infection, helping to keep fever and sinus congestion in check.

How much should I use?

Manasul Mint is a wonderful substitute for coffee in the morning that is invigorating without the harshness of caffeine. It can also provide comfort during the flu season, or for those with respiratory ailments. Try it in combination with senna (Manasul Tea for weight loss) for a pleasant tasting infusion that gently detoxifies your system. Manasul Mint can be enjoyed as often as you like.

Pennyroyal powerfully stimulates uterine muscles and helps to bring on menstruation. We strongly discourage the use of pennyroyal during pregnancy.
