My mom just bought me a sweet mint plant that I'd like to have for hot tea, but I need to know if that is safe. I know peppermint is safe, but is sweet mint safe?

- 27 year old student
- Had symptoms since I was 5
- Been on forums since '07, knew I had this since then, received mild treatment without true diagnosis due to anxiety. Diagnosed by symptoms on 4/08/11.
- Had first horrible flare in 07, bad doctors, had to research IC myself to clue in onto what it was. After following the diet I went into remission.
- Big flare in 09 due to an untreated bladder infection. Went back into remission in 2012.
- Symptoms returned 4/1/15. All of my remissions have ended in April-May or September-October. It sounds like a connection to seasonal allergies to me..
