Though there have been no human clinical trials on the health benefits or risks of peppermint tea, some believe peppermint tea has healing effects, as a result of the menthol that it contains. It is said to ease such problems as irritable bowel syndrome, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, headaches and baby colic. Its minty flavor can take the edge off bad breath. It is also said to control mild asthma, manage stress and ward off the common cold.

However, peppermint has muscle relaxant properties and therefore may relax the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing the contents of the stomach to move upwards into the esophagus. For this reason, patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are advised to avoid peppermint.

Peppermint contains B vitamins, calcium and potassium.                                                                                                                                                                                     *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA.
