It's very easy to grow - in fact, it's hard to stop growing once you've got some!
It helps your stomach digest food.
Some people claim that sniffing oil of peppermint can take away hunger pangs which is good news for dieters!

Let it infuse for five to ten minutes. You can sweeten it with honey if you like.
For an ultra cleansing and anti bloating tea, you can add a handful of crushed nettle leaves.
For an indigestion remedy, you could add a few chamomile flowers if you like.
Parsley
Parsley can be used to sweeten the breath after eating strong and spicy foods. Just chew a few sprigs or make a tea out of it.
It's also good for settling an upset stomach.
If you feel bloated or you've overdone the wine or garlic, then simply take a few sprigs of parsely and chew slowly.
If you do this after a meal, it will really help guard against indigestion.
It's a good idea to keep parsley growing through the winter - you can keep a pot on the kitchen window sill for the depths of winter.
DO NOT DRINK PARSLEY TEA IF YOU’RE PREGNANT Parsley is safe in culinary quantities, but not always in medicinal doses.
Dill
Oil of dill is used in gripe water for babies.
A tea of dill seeds will help relieve hiccoughs and vomiting.
Dill seeds can be chewed to dull hunger pangs - good news for dieters again.
