10 Benefits of Spearmint Tea
Benefit #7: May Help Reduce Stress
Work, school, friends, and family life can be very stressful. Spearmint tea may be the stress reliever you never knew you needed. In South American countries, the tea is commonly used as a destress herbal tea.
Studies have supported the tea as being able to reduce stress. In an animal study, the tea was given to rats. A decrease in anxiety and improved sleep was reported. The reason behind the tea’s relaxation capabilities is believed to be due to the menthol in spearmint. Menthol has a sedative effect on the body.
