Product Description

What Is Peppermint Powder?

Peppermint powder is a finely ground powder made from dried peppermint leaves, valued for its strong, refreshing, and cooling flavor due to its menthol content. It is used in both culinary and personal care applications, such as flavoring teas, baked goods, and frozen desserts, or as a topical ingredient for its soothing and invigorating properties.

Peppermint Powder Benefits

• Digestive Issues

Peppermint oil is commonly used to treat digestive issues, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This has led some to wonder if peppermint leaves may help with digestion as well.

Unfortunately, there is not much data on peppermint leaf as a treatment for digestive issues. Anecdotally, peppermint leaf tea is said to soothe an upset stomach and help stomach muscles relax. However, this has yet to be proven through scientific evidence.

According to a review, peppermint tea has been linked to improved digestion in animal models. Per the review, peppermint leaf has been shown to have a relaxing effect on gastrointestinal tissue.But these results have never been replicated in human trials or more recent studies.

• Antibacterial Properties

Bioactive ingredients in peppermint have been found to be protective against various strains of bacteria.

Menthol is thought to be the main component responsible for peppermint’s potential antibacterial benefits, but phenols and flavonoids may also play a role.

A laboratory study compared peppermint oil to peppermint leaf extracts for their antibacterial effects against certain types of bacteria. While peppermint oil was found to be more effective, peppermint leaf extracts also showed resistance to bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherchia coli (E. coli), and Klebsiella pneumoniae.

Another in vitro study found peppermint tea to possess antibacterial activity against Chlamydia pneumoniae, a type of bacteria that can lead to respiratory infections. Researchers believe that peppermint tea may help ward off an acute respiratory tract infection caused by Chlamydia pneumoniae.

While these results may be promising, only lab research is available at this time. Human studies are needed in this area.

• Dysmenorrhea

Peppermint extract may help relieve symptoms of dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation).

A study on individuals aged 18 to 25 with primary dysmenorrhea compared the effectiveness of peppermint to mefenamic acid, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Study participants were randomized to use either peppermint extract or mefenamic acid for three days at the start of their periods. Pain intensity and duration were significantly reduced in both groups, suggesting that peppermint extract may be a natural remedy for dysmenorrhea.

Few other studies exist on the use of peppermint leaf products for dysmenorrhea. Additional research would strengthen the evidence just presented as well as anecdotal evidence regarding peppermint’s effectiveness.

• Sore Throat

Peppermint tea is commonly used for a sore throat. The menthol found in peppermint tea is said to have cooling properties that can soothe a sore throat.

Research shows that menthol acts as a cooling agent due to its ability to activate cold receptors in the oral cavity. Using menthol-containing peppermint tea may cause the perception of increased airflow in your nose and throat, which may help your sore throat feel better.

At this time, there are no human trials on the use of peppermint tea or other peppermint products for sore throat. Aside from anecdotal evidence, scientific studies are needed to better support the use of peppermint for sore throat.

• Bad Breath

Many brands of toothpaste and mouthwash contain peppermint. This is because peppermint is thought to treat and prevent bad breath (halitosis).

In one study, teenagers with self-reported halitosis were divided into two groups, with one group receiving a placebo and the other receiving peppermint mouth rinse. Participants used their assigned mouth rinse for one week before the results were measured. Of those who used the peppermint mouth rinse, about half (50%) no longer had bad breath at the end of the study.

Peppermint oil is also used to treat bad breath. It’s believed that peppermint’s bad breath-fighting effects come from its antimicrobial properties.
