Recommended Intake & Goals
Drink as a warm tea infusion after large meals or 1 hour before a heavy workout to settle the stomach.
Preparation & Usage Steps
- Menthol blocks calcium channels in the smooth muscle cells of the gut.
- This induces relaxation of the intestinal wall, relieving spasms and cramping.
- Bile flow is stimulated, promoting the digestion and assimilation of dietary fats.
Nutrition Cues
"Steep fresh or dried peppermint leaves covered for 10 minutes to trap essential oils."
"Excellent caffeine-free soothing drink."
"Avoid if you suffer from acid reflux (GERD), as it relaxes the esophageal sphincter."
Preparation Tips
- Drink a cup of hot peppermint tea after a high-fat recovery meal to accelerate digestion and prevent stomach heaviness.
- Inhale peppermint essential oil before training; the menthol stimulates the respiratory center and increases alertness.
Synergistic Foods & Bio-boosts
- Digestive Soothing Tea: Steep 2 tbsp organic peppermint leaves in 10 oz boiling water for 10 minutes. Drink warm.
