You can ease occasional indigestion by sipping a cup of peppermint tea after your meal. Peppermint 
improves the flow of bile, which moves food through the digestive tract more quickly.
Use peppermint with caution if you have acid reflux problems as peppermint could possibly make this condition worse. Spearmint works the same way.
I grow peppermint and spearmint plants in my garden. I use the fresh mint leaves in summer salads and to give a fresh, brisk taste to iced tea and middle eastern dishes. At this time of year, I pick bunches of the stalks and mint leaves. I don’t want the autmn frost to destroy the plants. Then I allow the leaves to dry so that I can flavor my own food throughout the winter and the early spring.
