PEPPERMINT ALEVIATES MENSTRUAL CRAMPS AND MORNING SICKNESS

Peppermint has a wide variety of uses. Perhaps forgotten as a medicinal aide peppermint can be used to relieve a wide variety of digestive problems. These problems include intestinal colic, digestive pains caused by gas, menstrual cramps, as well as morning sickness and symptoms of the common cold.

Additionally, peppermint tea is good to drink during or after meals to aid digestion. In 1992, Georges-Louis Friedli found that the Menthol contained in peppermint was a high potent inducer of liver enzyme P450IIB1. The stimulation of this liver enzyme increases detoxification by the liver.
