Ancient civilizations have a long history of using mint, mint tea, and other mint-based products for a range of important health and wellbeing uses. Besides its fresh and enlivening aroma, mint has traditionally been used for its oral, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory, skin, nervous system, urinary system, reproductive, pain and inflammation management benefits.

A new scientific review from the Tea Advisory Panel (TAP) – A Narrative Review on the Mechanistic Actions and Potential Health Benefits of Peppermint and Spearmint Teas[1] – points to one refreshingly simple change we can all make to help us spring into spring this year.

Drinking just one or two cups of mint tea a day has been shown to have great potential when it comes to protecting us from a wide range of ailments affecting everything from our gut to our joints and hormones.

Study co-author and tea expert Dr Tim Bond comments, “The list of health areas regular mint tea (peppermint or spearmint variants) consumption could help support includes brain health, heart health and digestive health. It may also help to reduce arthritic pain and improve sleep, so it really has potential as a simple health hack.”

“The benefits of mint tea are thanks to its polyphenol, antimicrobial, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and blood pressure lowering effects, making it an easily achievable action to put on our list of health-focused objectives,” adds study co-author and fellow TAP expert Dr Emma Derbyshire.

The study also suggests that we should be trusting our gut when it comes to simple and effective steps to ease an upset stomach.
