Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium)
Pennyroyal tea is often used to treat digestive complaints, colds, fever, painful menstruation, childbirth (with experienced practitioner) and as a natural insect repellent for centuries.
Pennyroyal is known to be toxic when taken in large doses, and skin contact with the pure oil can cause dermatitis.

Morgan Botanicals herbs and herbal products are hand crafted using only 100% pure botanicals and fresh ingredients. What herbs I don't grow or ethically wildharvest I buy from only reputable organic growers. The Morgan Family owns and operates a three acre apple orchard along with fresh produce and herbs in Tehachapi. I sell locally to businesses, midwives, and have a booth at the local Farmers' Market.
