Organic Pennyroyal Herb - Mentha pulegium, 1 lb, (Mountain Rose Herbs)

Free Gift For Order Over $50. Check out our gift selection.

Pennyroyal is the smallest of the mint family, and has some very distinctive properties. The taste and odor of pennyroyal is stronger and far more pungent than other mints, which makes it disagreeable to many people. It's also disagreeable to insects, and pennyroyal has been used as a natural insect repellant for centuries. Pennyroyal tea is often used to treat digestive complaints, but its most well-known folk medicine use is as an abortifacient.  
 
Pennyroyal is widely used in both Europe and North America, where Native Americans used it as a household remedy for digestion, colds, fever, painful menstruation and childbirth. Recently, the use of pennyroyal oil in products has become controversial when products using the oil were implicated in the deaths of two women. The herb is known to be toxic when taken in large doses, and skin contact with the pure oil can cause dermatitis. 
 
The pure oil of Pennyroyal can be highly toxic if ingested. Utilizing pennyroyal as an abortifacient is also considered quite dangerous as many serious complications and hemorrhaging may occur, therefore the herb should never be used in this manner. Pennyroyal is a good herb to plant in gardens to keep bugs away. 
 
Also known as: 
Mentha pulegium, Mosquito Plant, Squaw Balm, Squawmint, Tickweed, Run by the Ground, Organ Tea, Lurk in the Ditch, and Pudding Grass

SUGGESTED USAGE
Usually as a tea but sometimes in extract and seldom in capsules. Topically the oil or fresh herb can be used as an insect repellent, but in some cases may induce a rash or similar reaction. 
 
Precautions: Should never be taken by women that are pregnant or think they may be pregnant as it is a well known abortifacient.
