Crisp dried peppermint (Mentha x piperita), cooling and invigorating.
Traditionally used in herbalism: A quintessential carminative herb, traditionally sipped after meals to ease digestion, settle a queasy stomach, and relieve a sense of fullness. Its cooling menthol was also valued in folk practice for clearing the head and refreshing the senses.
A little lore: A herb of purification and renewal, said to raise the vibration of a space and invite healing and prosperity.
Close to home: Yes — peppermint thrives in Ontario gardens (and like all mints, spreads vigorously).
In your cup & cauldron: Steep as a bright tea, or burn and brew for cleansing work.
