Peppermint

With its unmistakable aroma and refreshing taste, peppermint is used to flavour many common products from beverages to toothpaste. Peppermint tea is commonly used to ease tension headache and migraine symptoms and as a digestive tonic to support the expelling of gas. Known for its cooling and drying effects, peppermint is also popular for supporting relief of cold, flu, and allergy symptoms, and promoting mental clarity.

Note that peppermint may increase symptoms of GERD and heartburn.
