Peppermint is another herb with significant digestive benefits. Its active ingredient, menthol, has a relaxing effect on the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, which can alleviate symptoms of bloating, gas, and cramps. Peppermint oil, in particular, has been shown to be effective in treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) by reducing abdominal pain and improving bowel movement. Peppermint tea is a popular remedy for indigestion and can be a comforting addition to your daily routine. Incorporating peppermint into your diet can provide a refreshing and natural way to ease digestive discomfort.
