Peppermint offers a range of benefits due to its refreshing and aromatic qualities. It is widely known for its ability to alleviate digestive discomfort, including symptoms like indigestion, bloating, and nausea. The menthol in peppermint can provide relief from headaches and congestion, making it useful for respiratory health. It may also help boost energy and mental alertness.

Contraindications for peppermint are relatively limited. However, it may relax the lower esophageal sphincter, potentially exacerbating symptoms of acid reflux in some individuals, so caution is advised for those with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Additionally, while peppermint tea is often used to soothe digestive issues, it's not recommended for those with a history of gallstones, as it could trigger gallbladder contractions. Always consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns or specific health conditions before using peppermint for therapeutic purposes.
