Mint leaves provide natural cooling to the stomach lining, acting as a carminative. Camphor in small, regulated pharmaceutical doses relieves muscular spasms in stomach walls, reducing acid reflux and spasms.

In the Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia, Pudina (mentha) is recognized for its Deepana (digestive fire stimulating) and Pachana (toxin-cleansing) attributes. It rapidly alleviates the Pitta dosha's excessive heat, which is the primary driver behind acid indigestion.

When combined with pure camphor (Kapoor) and other volatile oils, it creates a synergistic effect that relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter, helps release trapped gas, and cools down the burning sensation in the chest and abdomen.
