Peppermint

Mentha piperita | Digestive Comfort · Cooling · Respiratory Support

It's one of the most familiar teas on Earth — but peppermint's story starts as a 17th-century English discovery, a natural hybrid of watermint and spearmint, layered on top of centuries of even older European and Middle Eastern digestive folk tradition.

Peppermint's digestive reputation centers on menthol, a compound extensively studied in clinical research for its relationship to normal, healthy digestive muscle relaxation.* Multiple randomized controlled trials have examined peppermint oil's relationship to digestive comfort — worth knowing that most of that specific research used concentrated, enteric-coated capsules rather than tea.*
