Peppermint tea is good - but can you drink too much?

I know the mint,but have never seen the peppermint.They say that the peppermint is a cross between watermint and spearmint.The mint is a Traditional Chinese Medicine that can treat common cold , sorethroat and headache of wind-heattype.etc.I believe the peppermint has the similar curative effects.

Peppermint tea may cause digestive problems if you drink too much of it because it relaxes the muscles in the esophagus. That's what helps a tummy feel better because air bubbles can come up when the esophagus is more relaxed, but too much and you can get heartburn from it. Too much of anything is not good for you!

I know that it is healthy to drink eight glasses of water each day. I think it is fine to drink lots of pepper mint tea if you want to. Also fruit teas are fine to drink ever such a lot of. My mom drinks lots of English tea. My sister does too. I drink fruit juice, water, peppermint tea and fruit tea. I used to drink coffee but stopped when I found out I am allergic to it. I was told not to let my disabled son drink lots of rice milk. Only one of those at a time is safe to drink.

hi macdingolinger your user name still reminds me of the old fashioned party lines on a landline phone where we were in the country and each family had different rings I remember ours were three shorts. seems really bizarre now asnd confusing. I love peppermint tea but yes I think like most things you could drink too much and feel really icky.I was just thinking a coffee pot that would do that would be great here in our room. Hot water for instant oatmeal or hot chocolate or a decent cup of hot coffee when I first wake up. I am living in a retirement center and miss cooking for myself so much.Yes peppermint tea for me is really good when my tummy is upset as it soothes your stomach. Moderation in all things is the key to good health I think.

I am sure you can drink in whatever amount your heart desire, if the peppermint tea taste good to you. But i doubt that you can drink too much tea a day regardless of what type it is, usually two to three cup of tea a day is the most i can drink, after that, i found that it's just tasteless, especially if you drink them with an ampty stomach.

I can take my peppermint tea one cup at a time but spread out the whole day. I cannot function without.
