Some believe peppermint tea has healing effects, as a result of the menthol that it contains. It may ease such problems as irritable bowel syndrome, nausea and vomiting. It can also take the edge off bad breath, due to its minty flavour, control mild asthma, and even help to manage stress. It is a good remedy to ward off wintertime colds. Some brands of peppermint tea list these benefits on their labels.
However, peppermint tea has muscle relaxant properties and therefore may relax the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing the contents of the stomach to move upwards into the esophagus. For this reason, patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are advised to avoid peppermint.

Hi peppermint tea is used as an laxative and can help with constipation and helps some sufferers of irritable bowl syndrome. I dont know wheather it has any other benefits only as being a laxative.

Yes, it's good very good for you. It helps with an upset stomach or if you're having menstruating cramps. I also assume it has antioxidants just like most other teas. Which are good things shoveling out the bad toxins in your body. But I don't like the taste of it... while it's hot anyway.

It could be if it's taken wisely....have a change now and then....take it every other day. peppermint is supposed to stimulate your stomach and maybe cleanse your waterworks. It's benefit is to omit gasses and poisons from your system.

It's good for settling your stomach and excess wind. It can also work to help you digest a heavy meal, and because there's no caffeine in it it's pretty much as hydrating as water.
