Peppermint can do a lot more than just freshen your breath. Learn about all of its uses
After a good meal, there’s nothing worse than a bellyache that is disrupting your food coma. If you’re the person who has a bottle of Pepto nearby, or a pack of Rolaids on hand, then you should consider the natural remedy of peppermint.
Aside from freshening your breath, peppermint is a natural remedy for nausea. It will calm your stomach down and help reduce intestinal discomfort, basically reducing that feeling you get when you have eaten way too much.
Peppermint is also a natural remedy for people suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and peppermint tea even reduces flatulence. So when offered a mint at the end of dinner, think twice before saying no.
