No though may cause: Peppermint is used as a medicinal herb. It is a natural antimicrobial and is used to reduce cramps and spasms in irritable bowel syndrome. In some people too much peppermint may cause temporary gastroesophogeal reflux (leading to a case of heartburn), so that is the worst that might happen.
