Leaf tea or oil of peppermint has a direct antispasmodic action on the smooth muscle of the digestive tract. Studies suggest that the peppermint oil has the anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. I love the smell and taste of this herb. I started growing the peppermint herb because of its anti-viral properties. I felt that this herb would be useful for the cold
and flu season. This is a great soothing tea for those cold winter months.
In the book "Magic and Medicine of Plants" by Reader's Digest, peppermint's menthol is added to many medications for its therapeutic effects, particularly to ease the discomfort
of gas. "Medicinal interests in mints dates from the first century A.D., when it was
recorded by the Roman naturalist Pliny. In Elizabethan times, more than 40 ailments
were reported to be remedied by mints." Excerpt from "Magic and Medicine of Plants."
The German Commission E (1998) and Bartram's Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine (1995) cite peppermint as extremely effective for relief of minor spastic complaints of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as simple indigestion.

Also, he states that most of the mints' medicine is in the menthol, concentrated primarily in peppermint's volatile essential oil.

Peppermint May be Helpful for Heartburn
I enjoy using fresh peppermint from my own backyard herbal garden. I would take three handfuls of this fresh herb and make a dark green tea. This tea was so powerful and I noticed it working on my stomach very quickly. Peppermint pills from a nutrition store
could not do what this fresh peppermint tea did for me. I can not over emphasize using
your own fresh peppermint herb enough. If you grow your own peppermint, then you will experience the full healing properties of this miraculous herb.
I noticed my breathing was better from drinking peppermint tea. I thought back to what my allergy doctor said when I was 9 years old. He said that I would have to deal with asthma the rest of my life. I do not struggle like I use to with allergies, because of using herbs like peppermint, habanero peppers and echinacea. Eating healthy, exercising, and using a few superstar herbs can go a long way!
Master Herbalist David Hoffmann, in his book “Medical Herbalism”, talks about peppermint being an excellent carminative with relaxing effects on the muscles of the digestive system. Also, he states that the volatile oil of peppermint allays feelings of nausea and the desire to vomit.
Carminative: Plants rich in aromatic volatile oils that stimulate the digestive system to
work properly and with ease, soothing the gut wall, easing griping pains, reducing inflammation and helping the removal of gas from the digestive tract.

One of my best friends turned from being a herbal medicine skeptic, to a herbal healing
lover. He came over one day when I was making my fresh peppermint tea and wanted to
try some. What made him want some peppermint tea was that minty smell, so I poured
him a cup. Keep in mind, this was a strong tea made from my fresh herb garden
peppermint and not some weak herbal tea bag from the grocery store.
After he started drinking it, he was hooked and he said that it was delicious. What I did not know, is that he was dealing with ulcers from being stressed out and the tea made him feel better. Every time he came over I kept making him the peppermint tea and weeks later
his ulcer pain ceased. I found this intriguing and it proves the power of freshly made peppermint tea!

Peppermint was widely used by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and may have been cultivated by the Egyptians. The term "mint" is from the Greek Mintha, a mythological nympth transformed into a plant by the goddess Persephone after she learned of her husband Pluto's love for her. This oil is 100% pure.
Peppermint is a "nervine" that eases nervous agitation and anxiety. This is the most powerful peppermint oil on the market! Peppermint may help treat insomnia, and may help people with headaches. Keep out of reach of children. Not for internal use if undiluted. Do not use during pregnancy.
