Peppermint tea: cholesterol’s partner

Drinking peppermint tea regularly stimulates the production of bile. Bile is a fluid that aids in digestion. It is secreted by the liver, and stored in the gall bladder.

In order to make bile, the body needs to use cholesterol (it’s just one of the many reasons your body needs cholesterol — and why blindly lowering it can cause problems). This means that drinking herbal teas with peppermint could help balance cholesterol levels by putting your cholesterol to better use than clogging your arteries.

In fact, in a Brazilian study, test subjects treated with peppermint saw LDL cholesterol and triglycerides reduced, and their HDL improved.
