Are there any good effects to peppermint in the human body?



I drank a peppermint tea and I felt almost instantly better in my head. Before I had had a little bit of a headache. I want to know if peppermint is known to have any more good effects on the body…..

it settles my stomach

i heard that it makes u think….

The only thing proven is that it helps with stomach aches. There is no other evidence out there thats proves anything else.

Peppermint has a large index of health benefits such as: calms digestive spasm; relieves gas; fights bacteria; and acts as a decongestant as well. It is used to

increase the flow of digestive juices and bile while bringing the digestive muscles to a relaxed state. The menthol, which is a component in peppermint, soothes the stomach and eases pain. In addition, when used in tea it offers relief for mild asthma attacks.

Peppermint has an antispasmodic effect which can provide significant relief for abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhea, and general abdominal discomfort associated with an intestinal condition. In fact, peppermint oil generates this antispasmodic activity and provides relief for liver and gallbladder conditions. You may agree that the aroma itself may aid in improved concentration, relieve headaches, and reduce mental fatigue. In addition, when used topically, it can act as an antiseptic for muscle and nerve pain. Due to its cooling properties, this particular herb eases inflammation to tissue. It has also been known to relieve insomnia, stress, and anxiety.

I read somewhere that peppermint can cause a little serotonin rush in your brain. Serotonin helps regulate your mood and a little spike in it should make you feel happy.
