PRECAUTIONS:
Although side effects of mint leaves are uncommon when consumed in moderation, adverse symptoms have been reported. In particular, peppermint may cause side effects like headaches, mouth sores and heart burn. Both variations of the mint plant, peppermint and spearmint, can cause food allergy symptoms as well. If you experience any negative side effects after eating mint leaves, consider decreasing or stopping consumption and consulting with your doctor.
Additionally, while mint is often considered a go-to for digestive distress, it’s not recommended for those who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD. This is because mint is said to relax the muscles of the lower esophageal sphincter, which can make acid reflux and GERD symptoms even worse.
