COMMENTS:
Creeping Pennyroyal has small peppermint scented leaves. Creeper that forms a nice mound or ground cover.

Uses: pennyroyal was used in earlier times to flavor puddings and sauces. Tea is still used to soothe headaches. Strong minty aroma that repels ants and fleas. Oil is a abortifacient, not to be used during pregnancy.

Insect Repellent: Pennyroyal oil contains many natural insect repellents. Try it to repell against flies, gnats, mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks.

Decongestant and Cough Remedy: Pennyroyal is one of these most aromatic mints, use an infusion for congestion. You may wish to see these pages as well: Cough Test, Cold & Flu Recipes, Lungs & Sore Throat.

Digestive Aid: Although not as strong as peppermint, pennyroyal helps relax the digestive tract.

Pet Care: Use pennyroyal as a flea collar for your dog. Attached a small pouch filled with pennyroyal to your dogs collar to keep the fleas away. Place it under their blanket in their bed or basket for added protection. You may also wish to see our pet pages. Pet Care Tips, Make your own Pet Treats, Products for your Pet, Make your own bug sprays.


Dosage: To use to repell insects rub the fresh leaves on your skin or clothing. I find this lasts for about 1/2 to an 1 hour against mosquitoes. Use can soak it in olive oil or your favorite cream which seems to have longer lasting affects.
To treat cough and upset stomach use 1-2 teaspoon of dried herbage to cup of boiling water. Steep for 15 minutes and drink up to 2 cups a day.

Pennyroyal Herb C/S (Mentha pulegium) 1 lb: C Pennyroyal Herb C/S (Mentha pulegium) 1 lb: C

This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. The intensely fragrant leaves are a good base for potpourri. The plant is very aromatic, and its fragrance, like that of roses, was credited with medicinal properties by the Roman scholar Pliny. A known ingredient of the entheogenic kykeon potion along with ergot which was drunk during the Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece. Often considered psychoactive in its own right, this plant interestingly enough has a history of use as a migraine treatment in England. Pennyroyal has toxic effects on the liver, however, and is no longer recommended for internal use in any form. Great for potpourri.

Bumblebee Design Insect-Repellent Sterling Silver Pin

Protect skin naturally from insect bites... without sticky lotions, messy sprays... or touching skin at all. Bugs-B-Wear jewelry collection diffuses a 100% plant derived insect repellent and is a unique alternative to topical insect repellents which can cause skin irritation, as well as interfere with the benefits of moisturizers and/or sunscreens. Bugs-B-Wear is ideal for use during any outdoor activity as it diffuses an unobtrusive, clean aroma that repels insects.

  • Bugs-B-Wear insect repellent contains 100% essential oils of citronella, mint and lemongrass. These natural fragrances create a chemical free shield for all day protection from annoying insects.
  • Bugs-B-Wear earrings and necklaces' strategic placement on the ears and around the neck repels insects immediately drawing them away from the face, and therefore the whole body.
  • Bugs-B-Wear never comes in contact with skin, so perspiration resulting from summertime heat or sports cannot alter its effectiveness, as is the case with topically applied insect repellents. Bugs-B-Wear also does not interfere with the use or efficacy of sunscreens or moisturizers.
The complete package contains:
  • sterling silver jewelry
  • a 1/8 oz. vial of Bugs-B-Wear insect repelent
  • handy carrying pouch for storage
