Menthol found in peppermint reduces spasms and cramps. In particular, the plant helps to relieve spasms and colic in the smooth muscle tissues of the digestive system. The combination of these two activities soothes abdominal muscles and improves digestion. For example, peppermint relaxes the upper oesophageal sphincter in the gut, which helps to release trapped air, thereby reducing bloating and burping. Menthol also has a moderate effect against nausea and vomiting.
