Pennyroyal: From Antiquity to Your Cup
Poleo is one of those gifts from nature that has been with us for a long time. This plant not only adds a unique flavor to our hot beverages but has also helped alleviate various ailments for centuries.
It is said that the value of poleo was first recognized on the Mediterranean coasts. The ancient Greeks, masters in the art of healing with plants, noticed how abundantly it grew near rivers and soon realized its special fragrance. They began to use it to improve health. Over time, poleo traveled around the world, earning a place in both the kitchen and the pharmacy for its ability to enhance our meals and the multiple benefits it offers our bodies.
After its discovery by the Greeks, poleo became a staple in the Roman Empire, valued for both its culinary qualities and its supposed ability to stimulate the mind. During the Middle Ages, this plant spread across Europe thanks to botanical monks who cultivated it in monastery gardens. It was commonly found in home remedies of the time to relieve headaches or freshen breath, and over time, its use became popular for its effectiveness and ease of cultivation.
What Are the Main Benefits of Poleo?
Poleo is a natural antioxidant, which means it helps combat free radicals and protects our bodies from aging and diseases. Additionally, it is known for its sedative and relaxing properties, ideal for those moments when you need a break from your daily routine.
For cold days or when respiratory issues arise, poleo acts as a natural expectorant, making breathing easier. And if you’re looking to maintain your weight, this plant will be your best friend, as it boosts metabolism and helps with weight loss.
A Digestive Aid
After a heavy meal, there’s nothing like a poleo infusion to feel relief. Its diuretic effect and digestion-boosting properties are a classic in many cultures. If you're seeking a solution for minor wounds, poleo also has healing properties.
Your Natural Antidote
In the realm of intimate health, poleo has proven to be a useful antimicrobial ally against vaginal fungi. Its anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties provide relief during menstrual pain.
We cannot forget its role as an antiseptic, antifungal, and parasitic agent, along with its newfound fame as a moisturizer for the skin, helping to keep it hydrated and soft.
