PennyRoyal Common Uses

Home and Garden *insect_repellent *Pet *

Pennyroyal is an important member of the family of mints, used historically since the time of Pliny to stimulate suppressed menstruation, alleviate cramps and tension during a woman's monthly cycle and facilitate childbirth. Because of the herbs reputation as an aborifacient, it has a rather unsavory reputation, but the herb is one that can be used safely for its intended purposes, when coupled with common sense, respect, knowledge and caution.

Fragrant, low growing mint with small roundish leaves.

Side Effects: of PennyRoyal

Pennyroyal oil, however is extremely toxic, doses a small 1 teaspoon can cause convulsions. Drinking pennyroyal oil in an effort to abort a pregnancy has resulted in death. Never, ever, never take pennyroyal oil internally for any reason.
