Description
Botanical Name: Mentha arvensis
About This Herb: Our Wild Field Mint is wild crafted from plants growing in their natural habitat, harvested at peak flowering. Unlike cultivated mints that have been bred for specific traits, wild mint has an intensity and complexity that cultivated varieties lack. It’s mint in its original form—untamed and full of character.
Traditional Uses: Like other mints, Wild Field Mint is a carminative and stimulant. It’s traditionally used for digestive complaints, nausea, and respiratory congestion. The more intense volatile oils make it particularly effective for stimulating digestion and breaking up congestion. It’s also diaphoretic, promoting sweating in fevers.
How to Prepare: As a tea, steep 1 teaspoon in hot water for 5-10 minutes. The flavor is more intense and complex than spearmint—some find it more “wild” and interesting. Use in smaller amounts than cultivated mints until you’re familiar with its strength.
Safety & Considerations: Generally recognized as safe. Not for use during pregnancy in large amounts. Harvested sustainably from wild populations. Consult your healthcare provider before medicinal use.
