Benefit #2: Relieves Headaches
Peppermint relaxes the muscles, which decreases muscle spasms. This may also contribute to its ability to act as a pain reliever for headaches.
In a randomized trial with individuals who suffer from migraines, peppermint was used as a pain reliever. Results found that after just two hours of use, peppermint significantly reduced pain in comparison to those in the placebo group. It is even believed that just the aroma of peppermint tea can help relax muscles and improve headache pain. Thus, if you suffer from headaches, peppermint tea or essential oils can help reduce some of the effects.
