Peppermint is a popular herb used in the medicinal world to soothe a wide array of ailments. It is used in tea form to treat sore throat, diarrhea, irritated tummies, irritable bowel syndrome, and more. 

It is rich in a substance known as menthol, that gives it a cooling sensation when drank or applied. 

I believe hair rinses are one of the best kept secrets to growing longer hair! 

My favorite hair rinse by far is rosemary hair rinse. It helps grow your hair like a weed! But another hair rinse that does the same trick is a peppermint tea hair rinse!
