Peppermint has a wide variety of uses. Perhaps forgotten as a medicinal aide, peppermint can be used to relieve a wide variety of digestive problems. These problems include intestinal colic, digestive pains caused by gas, menstrual cramps, as well as morning sickness and symptoms of the common cold.
