A long time ago, before the days of Gaviscon and Buscopan, people would either chew peppermint leaves or steep some peppermint tea to relieve upset stomachs. One of the active oils, menthol, acts to relax the stomach helping with issues such as indigestion, motion sickness, IBS, and constipation. Despite the advent of modern medicine, organic peppermint tea still makes for a terrific natural remedy.
