Peppermint
(Mentha piperita) is one of the oldest
and most highly regarded herbs for soothing digestion. Jean
Valnet, M.D., studied peppermint's effect on the liver and
respiratory systems. Other scientists have also researched
peppermint's role in improving taste and smell when inhaled.
Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied
peppermint's ability to improve concentration and mental accuracy.
Alan Hirsch, M.D., studied peppermint's ability to directly
affect the brain's satiety center, which triggers a sensation
of fullness after meals.
