Peppermint

Peppermint has a long history of use. It has commonly been used to relieve ailments such as nausea, vomiting, lower abdominal pain, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, and bloating. In patients with irritable bowel syndrome, the use of peppermint oil (as capsules) has been described in many cases as a “first-line treatment” because it can safely help to relieve both unpleasant symptoms and improve your daily quality of life.

How do peppermint oil preparations (eg capsules) work?

Studies have shown that the active ingredient menthol in peppermint essential oil calms the muscles of the digestive system and thereby helps to improve the flow of bile, which the body uses to break down and digest fats. As a result, food passes through the body faster and does not cause indigestion. Peppermint oil has also been found to be an effective alternative to drugs that treat muscle spasms in the gastrointestinal tract. Simply put, peppermint oil relaxes the muscles that prevent the painful stomach gases from moving forward.

Recently, peppermint oil capsules have been widely used by people who have a sedentary lifestyle, whether at work or in a wheelchair. Peppermint oil capsules stimulate the work of the intestines very effectively, and thanks to the capsules, the intestines can be supported naturally so that various digestive inconveniences caused by a sedentary lifestyle do not occur.

If you suffer from indigestion and want to relieve bloating and heaviness in the stomach, you should try peppermint oil preparations to relieve symptoms by taking them half an hour before or after a meal with some herbal tea or a glass of water.
