Peppermint, a popular herb with a refreshing aroma and flavor, offers several potential health benefits:

Digestive Aid: Peppermint is well-known for its ability to soothe digestive discomfort, including indigestion, bloating, gas, and stomach cramps. It helps relax the muscles of the digestive tract, promoting smooth digestion and alleviating symptoms of gastrointestinal upset.

Relief from Nausea: Peppermint has anti-nausea properties that can help reduce feelings of nausea and vomiting. It's commonly used as a natural remedy for motion sickness, morning sickness during pregnancy, and chemotherapy-induced nausea.

Headache Relief: Peppermint's cooling effect and ability to improve blood flow may help alleviate tension headaches and migraines. Applying peppermint oil topically or inhaling its aroma can provide relief from headache symptoms.

Improved Respiratory Health: Peppermint contains menthol, which acts as a natural decongestant and expectorant. It can help clear congestion, soothe sore throats, and relieve coughs associated with colds and respiratory infections.

Directions: add one teaspoon of peppermint to hot water. Steep for 5 to 10 minutes. Strain and enjoy.  

FYI: Please consult your healthcare provider prior to use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking any medication, or have a medical condition.
