A woman who suffered from persistent abdominal bloating for the past few years shared how she overcame it through a simple method. She consistently drank peppermint tea. This herbal tea, made by steeping peppermint leaves, is characterized by its fresh taste and refreshing aroma.

 

Charlotte Smith, who is also an editor of the British daily newspaper The Mirror, often appeared pregnant due to severe bloating despite being a size 6. She tried various diets over time. She avoided greasy foods and takeout, and even tried a gluten-free diet, but nothing worked. Then she examined her beverage habits and discovered that the cause was coffee.

 

He is also an editor who writes health and medical articles, and through his own research, he discovered that peppermint tea is beneficial for gut health. Accordingly, he purchased peppermint tea at a very cheap price from a supermarket (a box of 40 tea bags for 89 pence in UK currency, approximately 1,588 won in Korean currency), and started drinking it habitually instead of coffee, at about 40 won per tea bag.

 

He claimed that he experienced changes afterward, saying, "My stomach has become flatter than usual, and sometimes even after drinking coffee, I didn't experience bloating when I drank peppermint tea on the same day." After consistently drinking a cup of tea costing 40 won, he was able to wear body-fitting dresses and T-shirts again without tensing his stomach.

Peppermint tea is widely known to be beneficial for digestion. In particular, there are studies suggesting that it has a calming effect on the gastrointestinal tract, helping to relieve gas and bloating. It relaxes the stomach and gastrointestinal muscles to eliminate bloating and aid food digestion, as well as increase the flow of bile to assist in fat digestion.

 

In a review conducted in 2014, nine studies involving 726 patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) were analyzed. The results showed that using peppermint oil for at least two weeks alleviated symptoms more effectively than a placebo. In another study involving 72 IBS patients, peppermint oil capsules reduced symptoms by 40% after four weeks, compared to a 24.3% improvement in the placebo group.

In addition to alleviating digestive issues, peppermint tea is known for a variety of effects. These include relief from tension headaches and migraines, elimination of bad breath, relief of nasal congestion, improved energy, relief from menstrual pain, antimicrobial effects, promotion of restful sleep, assistance with weight loss, relief from seasonal allergies, and enhancement of concentration.

 

Peppermint tea does not contain caffeine, so it can be enjoyed anytime. It is recommended to drink it after meals to aid digestion, in the afternoon to boost energy, or before sleep to relax.

 

While safe for most people, it can cause irritation in some. Because it relaxes the muscles of the digestive tract, individuals with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) should avoid it, as symptoms may worsen. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and children should also consult a healthcare professional before drinking peppermint tea.
