Dietitian note

Mint, particularly peppermint, has a muscle-relaxing effect. This can relax the LES, a muscle that acts as a barrier between the esophagus and the stomach. When the LES is relaxed, stomach acid can more easily flow back up into the esophagus, triggering heartburn and other GERD symptoms

Description

Mildly sweet with warm botanical undertones, the hard lozenge dissolves slowly into a smooth, slightly syrupy texture. Commonly used by consumers to soothe and moisten the throat during colds, travel, or singing, reviewers note pleasant flavor and long-lasting action, though a few mention strong taste or stickiness in some cases.
