Peppermint is a well-known and fragrant species of mint, a cross between spearmint and spearmint, and has dark green, fragrant leaves. This medicinal plant, with its spicy aroma and cool taste, has numerous properties in traditional and scientific medicine; from anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties to helping reduce pain, relieve itching, improve acne, strengthen hair, and relieve symptoms of colds and asthma. Peppermint is used both orally and topically, and due to its beneficial effects, it has a special place in many essential oils and natural products.

General properties of peppermint
Peppermint is a plant that has a special place in traditional medicine and has been repeatedly studied and analyzed in modern scientific research. In this section, we want to examine some of the properties of this medicinal plant.

Improve digestion
Peppermint acts as a mild sedative for the smooth muscles of the digestive tract. This property, especially for those suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, can be a winning card for reducing pain, bloating, and spasms. The menthol in it, by relaxing the muscles of the digestive tract, smoothes the passage of food and turns the feeling of heaviness and bloating after a meal into lightness.

Reduce nausea
One of the most well-known uses of peppermint is to reduce nausea; whether it is nausea caused by pregnancy, travel anxiety, or stomach problems. Its spicy and cool aroma directly affects nerve receptors and transmits a message of relaxation to the brain.

Many pregnant mothers or those who are on a long trip always carry a small bottle of peppermint water with them.

Calms the nerves and reduces stress
Peppermint is strangely both arousing and calming at the same time. It is neither a sleep aid nor an overstimulator. Therefore, in times of stress, it can reduce mental tension and create a sense of lightness.

Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial
Peppermint contains phenolic compounds and menthol that create strong anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. In the digestive tract, it controls harmful bacteria and reduces intestinal inflammation. This means less bloating, less pain and less water retention (which sometimes makes weight appear falsely high).

Helps to focus and relieve fatigue
One of the lesser-known properties of peppermint is its effect on the brain and concentration. Menthol increases blood flow to the brain and quickly reduces the feeling of mental fatigue. Many students or those who have heavy intellectual work, drink a glass of peppermint juice while studying or working at a desk to refresh their brain.

Peppermint tea for the stomach

- Reduces bloating and gas

- Relieves spasms and colic pains

- Improves digestion of fats and heavy foods

- Reduces nausea (after meals or while traveling)

- Helps relieve mild constipation (by stimulating bowel movements)

One of the most important benefits of this tea is for the stomach. However, if you have acid reflux, stomach ulcers, or gastritis, it is better to use regular peppermint tea or chamomile tea.

Disadvantages of Peppermint Extract
Peppermint extract is safe for most people, but if you have stomach problems such as reflux, allergy to menthol, gallstones, or are taking certain medications, it is best to use it with caution and consult a doctor. Excessive consumption is also not recommended for children under 5 years of age and pregnant women.

Price of Peppermint Extract
The price of peppermint extract is slightly higher than regular peppermint extract; the reason is simple: peppermint is slightly rarer, more fragrant, and richer in menthol than regular peppermint, so the cost of growing, harvesting, and extracting its extract is higher. In the Iranian market, regular peppermint extract is often in the more economical range (for example, each 1-liter bottle of quality in 1404 is about 80–100 thousand tomans), while pure, high-quality peppermint extract is usually 90–120 thousand tomans.
