May Help Relieve Indigestion

Mint may be helpful in treating other digestive issues like indigestion and an upset stomach. When food stays in the stomach for too long before moving on to the remainder of the digestive system, indigestion may result. According to numerous studies, using peppermint oil with meals causes food to flow through the stomach more quickly, which may lessen the symptoms of this kind of indigestion.

An amalgam of peppermint oil and caraway oil administered in capsule form exhibited effects resembling those of indigestion drugs, according to clinical research on indigestion sufferers. This reduced other digestive issues including stomach pain. Studies showing that mint can treat indigestion employed peppermint oil rather than fresh or dried leaves, similar to IBS.
