Effects of peppermint oil (Mentha piperita L.) on cardiometabolic and other health-related outcomes: a parallel placebo randomized controlled trial

ConclusionAs both hypertension and high triglyceride levels are important parameters for the etiology and severity of cardiometabolic disease, this trial indicates that twice daily peppermint supplementation (50  μL) may represent an effective means to prophylactically enhance cardiometabolic health. Furthermore, given the negative effects of anxiety on health-related quality of life and psychological wellbeing, peppermint may also be effective in improving both state and trait anxiety.
