Benefit #9: Keeps You Relaxed
Peppermint is a natural muscle relaxer. Thus, it is no surprise that the tea can keep people soothed. In a NASA study, researchers found that during a stressful commute, subjects who smelled peppermint decreased their anxiety and fatigue levels by 20% and their frustration by 25%. With the stressful world we live in, this is a great natural remedy to combat stress.
In addition, high stress levels are associated with weight gain as cortisol levels have a negative effect on your metabolism. Thus, through fighting stress, the tea’s calming and soothing scent can help reduce stress as well as keep your body’s hormones on track.
