Another study in 41 people found that 1,000 mg of acetaminophen applied to the forehead was effective for headaches. In a randomized clinical study conducted in 35 people with migraines, peppermint oil applied to the forehead and temples significantly reduced pain after two hours, compared with a placebo oil. Not only that, the menthol in peppermint oil increases blood flow and provides a cooling sensation, which can reduce pain.

Although no studies have examined peppermint tea and digestion, it is possible that this tea has similar effects. Furthermore, peppermint oil capsules reduced the incidence and severity of nausea and vomiting in a study conducted in 200 people undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. Additionally, a review of 14 clinical trials in nearly 2,000 children who used peppermint found that peppermint reduced the frequency, duration, and severity of abdominal pain. In a study conducted in 72 people with IBS, oil capsules resulted in a 40% reduction in IBS symptoms after four weeks, compared with only 24.3% using a placebo.
