Peppermint
Positive Qualities: Mindfulness, wakeful clarity, mental alertness
Patterns of Imbalance: Dull or sluggish, especially mental lethargy; unbalanced metabolism which depletes mental forces
Definition: Peppermint imparts alert clarity and mental vibrancy. Those who need this remedy have a soul struggle between the lower and upper parts of their being, especially between the metabolic/digestive forces and the thinking/creative forces. In these cases, the life or metabolic forces overwhelm the consciousness with too much warmth, making the mental capacity dull and lethargic. Peppermint is at once cooling and warming. It cools down the lower organs, especially the liver, so that the consciousness can be freed for higher activity. It also stimulates the thinking forces so that they have a “digestive capacity” of a higher nature, making the thinking more lively, vital, and penetrating. Many people who need Peppermint have profound issues around eating and consciousness. They may crave the stimulation of food, only to find themselves sluggish and mentally incapacitated afterwards. It is as though two parts of the Self are warring for attention. Peppermint brings great healing and balancing energy, freeing the mind for higher thought, and helping the digestive, life forces work in their proper sphere.
