I agree, it might have been an allergic reaction (just my luck), but I do know that mint teas etc are not recommended for those prone to acid reflux because it relaxes the lower muscles in the esophagus, which I'm guessing can also lead to pain when trying to swallow. Really uncomfortable anyway.

Thanks Abidrew! I would have researched it more of course, but now I probably won't look into it. Thanks for explaining that to me though. My husband uses it as a nervine sometimes, so I'll mention it to him.
