Peppermint
Traditionally peppermint tea has been used to aid digestion and is enjoyed after meals as a palate cleanser. It has very high levels of menthol which helps give its distinctive cooling taste properties. According to the UK Tea and Infusions Association, recent studies have shown that peppermint can be used to relieve the symptoms of indigestion and IBS by calming the muscles of the stomach. Peppermint is rich in vitamin C and it is also a good source of minerals including magnesium, copper, iron, potassium and calcium.
