The science supported benefits of peppermint and chamomile tea
Peppermint is an aromatic herb in the mint family that is a cross between watermelon and spear.
Peppermint leaves contain many essential oils including menthol, mentophone, and limonene. 1
Menthol imparts peppermint for its cooling properties and distinctly minty odor.
Chamomile tea is a popular drink that also provides many types of health benefits.
Chamomile is a herb that comes from the daisy-like flowers of the plant family of Asteria. It has been consumed for centuries as a natural remedy for many health conditions.
