Peppermint is one of the most underrated, yet wonderfully healing plant-based items! This aromatic plant originally from Europe is “created from the blending of watermint and spearmint” and is now cultivated across the globe. Peppermint has a variety of uses ranging from flavoring foods to providing a minty and fresh fragrance in “cosmetics, soaps, toothpastes, [and] mouthwashes.” While we all recognize that powerful flavor and smell, peppermint is far more than an aromatic! This herb has widely recognized medicinal properties, especially when it comes to treating indigestion and irritable bowel syndrome, as well as “nausea, skin conditions, headaches,” and peppermint products are a great decongestant for allergies and the cold.

Yet, one condition which peppermint has a dominating effect on is relieving gas. In fact, multiple studies have shown that peppermint acts as a digestive aid, relieving both gas and bloating.

Customer Review says “I’m so happy with my purchase of NOW Peppermint Oil. I’ve been adding peppermint oil to my shampoo for YEARS… not only does it stimulate hair growth, it reacts with the steam in the shower to clear up clogged sinuses and invigorate the lungs. Really helps me wake up in the morning!! Anyway, I buy peppermint oil A LOT and never really noticed the difference between brands (I just always got what was cheapest)… This time I happened to buy it from NOW Foods and I can guarantee you I’m never switching again. It’s affordable, it was shipped promptly, and the scent is rich and wonderful, not thin and astringent like some other brands I’ve tried. Five stars for the peppermint oil… I’ll be ordering some other scents next!!”

Cabokalz says “After my heart attack and having a stent applied into my LAD artery and sent home after 1 nights stay in the hospital. Of course my friends had come over to visit and as my cartiology nurse words it, “their bigger fish stories” had basically put me in panic mode, sending me to the emergency room once more. My family doctor had prescribed Valium to calm my panic attacks. In the mean time my nurse had recommended Camomile tea. To make a long story short, I haven’t used any Valium as the camomile tea seems to have such a calming effect with me that I haven’t had to take any Valium to this point. I would like to thank U.S. Wellness Naturals for being and having very well priced, affordable product.”
