Peppermint herbal tea is one of the most popular sipping teas across the world with chamomile in close pursuit. This amazing tea has a flavor palette that many people love because it combines a little spice with a lot of minty sweet! Peppermint tea is also a favorite because it grows easily and it’s an herb that many people enjoy cultivating and harvesting on their own. Although peppermint is enjoyable just for the flavor, it also has a pretty impressive array of medicinal healing properties which we’ll be exploring in this post.

Body scent
Drinking peppermint tea can help change the scent of your body in a good way! It’s a great alternative to chemically-laden deodorants and perfumes.
