Help for the Stomach

A few weeks ago, when one of mine wasn't feeling so great, they were complaining of a stomach ache.  Not wanting to brew peppermint tea in the middle of the night, but desirous of offering a form of relief, I suddenly asked, "Would you like a peppermint Altoid?"

Because these mints contain some peppermint oil, they actually offered a bit of relief.  I already keep them in my purse for breath-freshening and in each vehicle, in case of car sickness.  Now I'll remember to keep them around in case of stomach aches!
