I opt for fresh mint, looking for leaves that are the brightest of greens. Good thing it's readily available in my current backyard. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Additionally, I keep peppermint essential oil on hand for baths and topical application. Peppermint tea is a go-to for digestion and congestion in my household as well.
