The Many Benefits of Peppermint Tea!

The many benefits of peppermint tea include:

-RELAXATION: You have a greater chance of falling asleep if you are actually relaxed when your head hits the pillow, have a cup before bed to prepare yourself for a restive night of good, sound sleep. Great for sleep deprivation as well as for stress, which can be an inhibitor of sleep since tension, and tightness in your muscles make it harder to fall asleep. Drinking peppermint tea just before bed can be an easy and proven way to release the tension in your muscles, thereby allowing for a quicker path to restful sleep. 

-SOOTHING OF STOMACH: Ease occasional indigestion by sipping a cup of peppermint tea after your meal. Peppermint improves the flow of bile, which moves food through the digestive tract more quickly. It can be drunk either hot or cold. Though peppermint herb tea can be enjoyed at any time during the day, you will get extra benefits if you drink it before bedtime. Use peppermint with caution if you have acid reflux; it can make that problem worse.

-IMMUNE SYSTEM BENEFITS: Acts as a great preventative force against catching the common cold or, worse, the flu. This kind of tea comes with good amounts of potassium, calcium and vitamin B, all useful agents in the fight against colds and flus.
