Home Remedy #2: Peppermint Tea

Peppermint is a cross between spearmint and watermint. It is a plant native to the Middle East and Europe. Peppermint has been thought to have various benefits for different ailments. It is currently under preliminary research as a short-term treatment for irritable bowel syndrome.

The oil and leaves also provide a cooling effect and are used for nerve pain, muscle pain, fragrance, and relief from itching. It can also be made into a tea which may help reduce anxiety and stress. This can be attributed to the presence of menthol, which is a natural muscle relaxant. Pregnant women should avoid drinking peppermint tea as it may increase the risk of miscarriage as it can cause mild uterine contractions.
