It is true, it was found in several Egyptian pyramids of pharaohs carbon dating back to 1,000 BC. The ancient world of Egypt, Greece, and Rome was certainly were aware of the mint family’s medicinal value, having been used as herbal medicines a thousand years ago. We are not certain if our ancestors were drinking peppermint tea, but we have certainly started using peppermint in so many new ways these days that would probably be impressed.

Today, modern scientific research has confirmed that this remarkable plant has numerous healing properties. The Anamu Herbal Tea Company is excited to share the vast array of healing properties found in peppermint. This health benefit ironically has been hidden away in almost every homeowner’s kitchen cupboard. It is a member of the aromatic mint and most people have experienced peppermint as a flavoring ingredient for something maybe even a comforting cup of herbal tea. Almost no one is really aware of the wide range of health beneficial properties in Peppermint.

Okay – so let’s start taking a look at some of the modern scientific investigative studies that are revealing an abundance of potential health benefits from the peppermint plant. These include but not limited to aromatherapeutic, topical, and internal digestible applications. There has been a lot of human-based clinical research compiled for peppermint. The research performed has indicated that indicates this plant has great value in treating a variety of health-related disorders, including:

• Colonic Spasm – Peppermint oil has been studied as a safe and effective alternative to the drug ‘Buscopan’ for its ability to reduce spasms during certain enemas.
• Memory Problems –  In the year 2006, a research study was performed and it found that the simple aroma of peppermint enhances memory and increases alertness in the research participants.
• Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 – Peppermint was found to have inhibitory activity against acyclovir-resistant Herpes Simplex virus type 1. That’s pretty cool!
• Hay Fever Allergies – Wayback in 2001, scientists held a preclinical study and it found that extracts of the leaves of peppermint inhibit histamine to be released in a human’s body. It indicated that peppermint may be clinically effective in alleviating the nasal symptoms of allergic rhinitis because it could cause histamines to be released in a human’s body.
• Bad Breath – Peppermint oil extract has been found to be superior to the mouthwash chemical chlorhexidine inhibiting ‘Streptococcus Mutans’ driven biofilm formation. This may explain why powdered peppermint leaves were used in the Middle Ages to combat halitosis and whiten teeth. And why so many people want to flavor their mouth with peppermint to hide bad breath.
