I think the others did a super job of explaining how peppermint works, so I won't do it again, but I wanted to add that everyone is different. If peppermint makes you feel better, and doesn't worsen your reflux, then I don't see any reason to stop using it. I had terrible reflux problems back in high school, and of all things, mint seemed to help it, not aggravate it... I sucked on mint candies all the time to soothe my stomach. So... who knows? I think this one case where you can just stick with what works.
