Peppermint has tonic and stimulating properties and is used for indigestion with remarkable results.

Properties of Peppermint

Peppermint is used for indigestion, bile pain, stomach pain, nervous disorders, vertigo, and tachycardia. It stimulates the digestive system, liver, and bile function and is considered to reduce triglycerides.

Specifically, its anti-inflammatory action soothes the stomach from any type of stomach upset or nausea. It is also recommended for hiccups, gas, bladder stones, urine retention, and morning sickness during pregnancy. In fact, one of the most characteristic properties of peppermint is that it helps with concentration and improves memory.
