Bromo-mint is a remedy used for nervous headaches, heartburn, stomach upset, indigestion, and motion sickness. Bromo-mint was combined with water and taken orally.
The active ingredient in bromo-mint is sodium bromide, which was historically used in other medicines as a sedative. Excessive consumption of bromine compounds can lead to a disorder called bromism. Symptoms of bromism include confusion, memory loss, slurred speech, tremors, ataxia, muscle weakness, bromoderma, and neurological symptoms resembling schizophrenia.
