Peppermint (Mentha × piperita L., herba)

The dried leaves of Mentha × piperita are rich in volatile oils, especially menthol, menthone, 1,8-cineole, and menthyl acetate, along with flavonoids and other phenolic compounds¹. These constituents give peppermint its characteristic cooling aroma and gentle bitter-aromatic taste, which in traditional herbal medicine have been used to support digestive comfort, especially in situations of flatulence or feeling of fullness².

According to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), peppermint leaf (herba) is recognised as a traditional herbal medicine for the relief of minor digestive complaints, such as indigestion and bloating, based on longstanding use in Europe¹. Modern laboratory analyses support peppermint’s carminative (gas-relieving) and spasm-relieving potential¹.
