Peppermint
(Mentha piperita) has a strong, clean, fresh, minty aroma.
One of the oldest and
most highly regarded herbs for soothing digestion, it may also restore digestive
efficiency.* Jean Valnet MD studied peppermint's supportive effect on the liver
and respiratory systems. Other scientists have also researched peppermint's role
in improving taste and smell when inhaled. Dr. William N. Dember of the
University of Cincinnati studied peppermint's ability to improve concentration
and mental sharpness. Alan Hirsch MD studied peppermint's ability to directly
affect the brain's satiety center, which triggers a sensation of fullness after
meals. This powerful essential oil is often diluted before topical application.
Peppermint may also be used to enhance the flavor of food and water. Peppermint
has an approximate ORAC of 373,455 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox
equivalent per liter.
