I love herbal teas in winter. They are a great way to get your fluid levels up when you don’t necessarily feel thirsty. I often drink combinations of herbs – such as licquorice, lemon and mint (a unique blend I found on a recent trip to Tambourine Mountains), but for the stock standard – buy from the supermarket I find Peppermint is always a winner.
Peppermint tea is great as an afternoon pick-me up (much better than the usual coffee) and is also a good to have around meal-times as it is a herb that helps with digestion. Not only that but it can improve your breath as well as relieve stress and anxiety
I was going to write about the other benefits, but when looking up my notes and doing the research I found that this article had most of the information I would have written so in the interests of not re-inventing the wheel. So go ahead and make yourself a cup of peppermint tea so you can sip on it whilst you read all about it’s benefits. Here is the link.

YOu might wonder why I am writing about peppermint tea when most of my other blogs are all about perimenopause and the cycles of nature, but peppermint tea does support women going through perimenopause as it relieves anxiety and helps with sleep issues.
To gain the full benefit of this and other herbal teas, you need to have a good dose of it, so I suggest at least 5 cups or 3 strong cups a day, to gain a therapeutic effect.
