Mint, specifically Peppermint - one of the oldest natural remedies for all sorts of things.
A Natural calming and soothing herb which acts as an Anti-inflammatory and encourages bile flow.
Peppermint contains high concentrations of Menthol - a natural aromatic decongestant that helps break up phlegm and mucus, making it easier to expel. Menthol has also been proven to help improve performance in hot climates.
Peppermint Extract has even been found to increase the pain threshold. Often used for colonoscopy to stop painful cramping in patients. Closely related to the anti-inflammatory properties. Not bad when you need that edge on your competitors!
