Description

Peppermint is a hybrid mint, a cross between watermint and spearmint, widely used in both traditional and modern medicine. It is particularly valued for its digestive and analgesic properties. Peppermint oil is one of the most well-researched essential oils for irritable bowel syndrome.

Fennel is an aromatic herb native to the Mediterranean, used medicinally since ancient Egyptian times. It is particularly valued for digestive complaints, especially gas and bloating, and has been used traditionally to promote lactation and soothe infant colic. Its pleasant licorice-like flavor makes it one of the most palatable medicinal herbs.
