Answer 1

It always seems to work for me.  Although, it could also just be a comfort thing.  I just know I feel better after drinking it.

Answer 2

OK yes yes yes yes yes! You can also go to a health food store And get peppermint chews (not like a Mint or candy or what yyou'rethinking) They taste rreallydisgusting but if you chew them fast and drink ssomethingYour stomach sickness Is gone in two seconds. It really works. But tea does also its the same thing...Doesn't taste perfect but its worth it.

Answer 3

Yes, a strong cup of peppermint tea can help to relieve stomach problems, particularly gas. Remember to steep the tea COVERED so the essential oils don't just evaporate out of the cup.

If you're getting a lot of indigestion you may need to take some measures to improve your digestion. 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice in half a cup of water 30 minutes drunk 30 minutes before meals will increase your stomach acid which will improve your digestion and help to prevent gas and indigestion. Taking probiotics can also help your digestion if you have imbalanced bowel flora. Peppermint is great but you also need to treat the cause of the problem.
