Just like green tea, peppermint tea has numerous health benefits. Not just stomach upset and indigestion, it also helps relieve congestion, toothache and fever. Peppermint tea contains antioxidants that flush out the toxins from the body and aid in digestion. Moreover, peppermint has anti-inflammatory properties that aid in relieving abdominal pain and discomfort. The presence of volatile oils in peppermint tea stimulate the gall bladder and help in digestion. Hence, drinking a cup of peppermint tea not only exerts a soothing effect on the body but also improves digestion and calms stomach upset. Moreover, a 2008 study [1] has also revealed that peppermint essential oil is effective in reducing abdominal pain, flatulence and diarrhoea in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) without causing any adverse effects.

How to make peppermint tea at home?

If you suffer from stomach upset, brew fresh and hot peppermint tea to relieve the symptoms. To make peppermint tea at home all you need, are few peppermint leaves and water. Here is how to make this tea:

1. In a cup of water, add half a teaspoon of peppermint leaves.

2. Allow the leaves to boil for 5 minutes so that the colour of the tea changes to light brown in colour.

3. Strain the liquid and allow the content to cool a bit before drinking the tea.

4. You can even add a teaspoon of honey or squeeze half a lemon in the tea to enhance the taste.

Here are a few home remedies for indigestion you must try!
