Peppermint oil relieves the painful cramps, gas, and bloating that are the hallmarks of irritable bowel syndrome. Peppermint tea is a good soother for occasional tummy upset. In early research, Brazilian mint tea (made from the plant Hyptis Crenata commonly known as Bushmints) has been as effective as a prescription painkiller.
Next time you’re experiencing a headache or other pain in your body, try heading to the herb garden before making a trip to the pharmacy. Chewing some mint leaves could be just as effective as conventional pain relievers, according to researchers at Newcastle University. Scientists testing the pain relieving properties of Hyptis crenata (otherwise known as Brazilian mint) on mice found that this intriguing plant made into a tea and consumed could be just as effective as synthetic aspirin-style drug Indometacin.
