Peppermint has long been known for its medicinal properties. Traditionally, it was used to
calm indigestion, and was a popular digestive aid thousands of years ago in Egypt. More recently, modern studies have shown that it may help treat symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, several studies have shown that peppermint capsules can help treat pain, bloating, gas and diarrhea associated with IBS. Peppermint’s calming effect on digestion is why you see so many peppermint and mint candies given away at nice restaurants after the meal.
Because of the natural menthol, it can also help loosen up phlegm and break up coughs. Germany’s Commission E (regulatory agency for herbs) recommends 1 tablespoon of leaves in a cup of boiling water for tea to help digestive and congestion issues.
peppermint oil's benefits to the skin
One of the best-known benefits of peppermint is its ability to soothe and cool. Always dilute the oil in a base like grape seed oil, aloe vera, or jojoba.
Other benefits to the skin include:
- Stimulating: You know how peppermint makes you feel—energized and alive, right? It does the same for your skin. Promoting blood flow, it helps liven up the feeling of your skin.
- Controls oil: Though peppermint can be used on any skin type, it’s especially helpful for oily and combination skin, as it helps balance natural oils. That means fewer clogged pores.
- Soothing: You find peppermint in many lip balms and chapsticks because of its soothing ability.
- Refreshing: When we’re talking about peppermint, we can’t ignore the scent! It’s lively and energizing, and helps wake you up in the morning.
