Heather,
After taking a peppermint cap, is it allright to then "chase" it with a cup of the peppermint tea(after waiting an hour).Is that too much of a good thing? Thank you.

As long as you wait an hour, that's fine. You won't overdose on peppermint or anything.

Just don't take the cap with hot tea - hot liquid will really break down the enteric coating on the capsules and increase the risk of hearburn.

Best,
H
