Mint tea is helpful for mild tummy conditions. Mint is a calming and soothing herb that has been used for thousands of years to aid with upset stomach or indigestion. Mint is thought to increase bile secretion and encourage bile flow, which helps to speed and ease digestion.
Peppermint may also relieve pain and discomfort from gas and bloating. Peppermint tea is a common home remedy for flatulence.
Purchase or grow any variety of mint to keep handy for brewing a cup by pouring hot water over mint leaves and steep for 5 to 6 minutes for occasional tummy trouble.
