Peppermint Leaf
Peppermint is more than just a candy flavor. This herb promotes healthy digestion by soothing and comforting the stomach. Peppermint is frequently used in herbal teas and capsules.
Peppermint Leaf, a popular flavor with deodorant properties, is a cooling diaphoretic, used for respiratory ailments.
Peppermint is considered a general stimulant, cleansing and strengthening the entire body. Recent research has highlighted this herb as an aid for the bowels. Peppermint leaves contain a volatile oil that is composed of 50-78 percent free menthol and 5-20 percent menthol combined with other constituents. It is this oil that has been clinically shown to ease intestinal cramping, tone the digestive system, and treat gas and indigestion.
The best brand for the stomach that we've ever tried by far, is Peppermint Gels Formula. These Peppermint Gels soothe the intestines with antispasmodic effects. Enteric-coated softgels prevent unpleasant after taste, and allow the formula to move to the intestines, where it's released for optimum benefit where it soothes the intestine with antispasmodic effects. May provide relief for gas related digestive issues, as well. As a dietary supplement, you take 1 softgel 1 to 3 times daily, preferably between meals.
Peppermint is an excellent carminative, having a relaxing effect on the muscles of the digestive system, combats flatulence, and stimulates bile and digestive juice flow. It is used to relieve intestinal colic, flatulent dyspepsia and associated conditions. The volatile oil in Peppermint acts as a mild anesthetic to the stomach wall, which allays feelings of nausea and the desire to vomit. In painful menstrual periods, it relieves the pain and eases associated tension.
You can also "drink your mint" with a delicious blend of Chocolate Mint Black Tea. If you want a "little something" without sugar, try this, a chocoholic favorite! This tea is a lovely combination of mint with the earthy, irresistible aroma of chocolate.
