Medicinally though, it is best known for its ability to aid digestion and relieve gastrointestinal distress. Peppermint owes most of its medicinal value to menthol, which is cooling, anaesthetic, antiseptic and soothing to the stomach; it also contains antioxidants and a number of expectorant compounds (which stimulate the coughing up of mucous).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor horses, peppermint’s aroma is useful for tempting fussy eaters and\/or helping to mask the smell of less pleasant herbs in their feed. It eases flatulence\/bloating, increases the flow of bile from the liver and relaxes both gastrointestinal spasms and tight skeletal muscles. It can therefore be useful for the colic-prone horse or the horse who is nervous and tense when travelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMint can be used to help dry off milk in nursing mares.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1kg Bag\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peats Ridge Equestrian Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45540484251824,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1726\/9281\/files\/peppermint-300x300.jpg?v=1787884525","url":"https:\/\/www.peatsridgeequestriansupplies.com.au\/products\/country-park-peppermint-leaf","provider":"Peats Ridge Equestrian Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
