Peppermint Tea, The Ultimate Calm-Down Drink!!!!

Oh, I love peppermint tea. I prefer it iced, and I don't know if it calms me, I can't tell, I'm kind of unaware of things like that, at least now that I'm out of my horrible job that I retired from back in 05.

I think peppermint tea is magical too! I really love the stuff not only for the taste but the benefits of it. Just the smell of it makes me feel better. I like buying lotions and candles with peppermint in them too because I get the same calming benefits. I also find peppermint to have an invigorating scent which energizes me. I just bought a product from Origins called Sensory Therapy "Piece of Mind" that contains and smells like peppermint. It really works great for stress relief. The lady working there taught me how to use it. You rub it on your neck, temples and earlobes in circles with your fingers and inhale in the scent. Even though it's a little expensive I'd recommend it to anyone.

I've tried Chai Tea, it has a calming effect. Not like you're Gelling or anything but it does take the stress level down to a manageable one.

I love peppermint tea! It is something that I drink a lot of. I guess that I never noticed the calming aspect of it. Son has been off meds most of the summer and I have been a little high strung, and didn't even notice my shirt was inside out, thank god I didn't leave the house today. Few more weeks until school starts

Peppermint tea relaxes and invigorates me at the same time.I take it especially after a heavy lunch or after dinner.

I totally agree with you there danishcanadian, I love peppermint tea and chammomile too. I like drinking a cup when I'm feeling stressed out which is almost always. I also drink it when I have a tunny ache or feel bloated.

yes are a good drink for summer, but i drink a few of it i prefer a could coffe whith more sugar myryam good day

I am a chamomile person myself. AAAhhhhh the healing powers of tea!

I have never heard of it. It sounds like it is very good though. I will have to look for it whenever I go grocery shopping. I do drink hot tea a lot espically at night it seems to relax me.

To be honest, I have not tried peppermint tea yet. I think now I am going to try soon. I am a big fan of tea though. I like Indian tea, like masala tea. Glad to hear that you found a way to calm down from stress.

I have never tried peppermint tea and quite honestly it doesn't sound like something I would be really thrilled about because I'm not a tea person, I much prefer coffee, BUT Hey if it works to calm the nerves I could get to like it. I am most definately going to give this a whirl as soon as I can get to the store. Thank You for the tip. I doubt there is anyone out there that has NO stress!

I wish I could drink this "calm down" peppermint tea. Sometimes I think we all need it. Only one problem for me, I sneeze and sneeze with peppermint.

Peppermint is good but you should also try Chamomile and Kava, Kava. Both of them are good for calming down. But they are better if you drink them before bed time. Or when your home and you know that your not going out again. Peppermint is good but when your home and not going out for anything. That is the best time they are good for a calm down. Have a good one.

I am very fond of peppermint tea.I like taking it almost regularly.Does it really work to calm somebody down????Thanks for the information.

yes I have, peppermint tea is excellent for soothing the nerves, I love it.

great!! nope havent tried it yet..but since you had tried it and tested maybe nexttime i buy tea i will look for the peppermint one...right now im still had plenty of teas..which my daughter had given me last year when she went to malaysia ..its a work related trip..

Yes, I found that peppermint tea is refreshing too. Some times ago when I went to an internet cafe, they serve a cup of peppermint tea. The taste was so great, it felt like there's some choco taste but It's just a tea. I wonder what is the tea's brand. I can't ask them because I'm sure they won't tell me. So the only way I can taste that nice taste is going to that internet cafe.

Peppermint tea, hmmm. That is good information. I would want to try that just to see if I get the same effect. Stress is very bad all around and I need to learn all the stress-busting techniques that I can lay my hands on. Cheers!!

hi hun, no i never have tried it but i will now..im going to buy some..just to have it there when i need it.. thanks for sharing that , sounds nice.. hugsssssss

I drink peppermint tea more near Xmas time. I like to have certain flavors at different times of the year. But i bet it would be a calming drink.
