Peppermint (herb) safe for 2 year old?
I bought a tea that includes peppermint. It said something about being good for the young and old! Someone online has since told me that my 2 year old shouldn't have peppermint. I'm not finding that in any of my books... I thought I'd ask here.

Re: Peppermint (herb) safe for 2 year old?
After looking through all my Vintage Remedies materials, I think the concern is peppermint essential oil, a whole different issue. The tea should be fine.

Re: Peppermint (herb) safe for 2 year old?
I've looked at vintage remedies, herbal healing for children, online I figured the amount in the tea which is a blend of several herbs..I used 1 T of tea for 1 cup and divided it between him and his brother. ..so the peppermint is probably minimal. The only thing I've seen is to avoid if you have gallstones...the lady that told me to avoid said it produces excess bile.

I know a lot of people add a bit of peppermint to tea to make it more palatable.
