From Herbal
Descriptions by Truman Berst:
#3160 PENNYROYAL HERB (Mentha pulegium) As a hot infusion, this herb
is used for colds, fevers and flus as it promotes sweating. Pennyroyal
contains a volatile oil which helps to relieve flatulence. It may be
used internally or externally (in a footbath) to help bring on suppressed
menstrual flow. Pennyroyal has been used to induce abortions but may
have very serious consequences. Other uses include: for colic and spasms;
toothache; gout; leprosy; consumption; and phlegm in the chest and lungs.
CAUTION: Pennyroyal should not be used by pregnant women or if pregnancy
is suspected. The essential oil taken internally is toxic and has caused
a number of deaths in women who have tried to induce abortion with the
oil.
Use 6-12 drops
in juice, water, under the tongue or as desired. May be taken 3 times
daily. Shake well. Store in cool dark place. Keep out of reach of children.
WARNING: Do not
take while pregnant or if you think you might be pregnant.
