Traditionally used for centuries, peppermint is valued for its ability to promote digestive health, ease bloating and soothe abdominal discomfort. Peppermint leaf is traditionally used to relieve indigestion and flatulence, according to the European Medicines Agency herbal monograph. It makes an ideal daily companion after meals.

Peppermint is also a refreshing way to care for your breath. In a small study of intensive care patients, an essential oil mouthwash containing peppermint reduced mouth odour and sulphur compounds, with the effect still visible one hour later.

Peppermint’s antioxidant and antibacterial properties have been shown in laboratory and animal studies, according to a 2021 review in Pharmacognosy Journal. Each cup is a soothing, refreshing ritual to end your meal.

Speak to your doctor before drinking peppermint tea if you have heartburn or reflux, gallstones, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.
