Peppermint Caps Description

Peppermint oil capsules have been clinically proven to help IBS symptoms, even in children. For published studies, check the IBS Research Library.

*Peppermint has an anti-spasmodic action, with a calming effect on the muscles of the stomach, intestinal tract, and uterus. Menthol and methyl salicylate are the main active ingredients of peppermint, and they both have powerful analgesic (pain-killing) properties. Peppermint is extremely useful for indigestion, GI cramps, and relieving IBS pain. Peppermint is anti-bacterial, increases gastric juices, and relieves gas, nausea, vomiting, and morning sickness.

Although peppermint is such a powerful smooth muscle relaxant that it can trigger GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) or heartburn in people who are susceptible, because the Peppermint Caps are enteric coated they do not dissolve in the stomach. Instead, they pass through the digestive tract intact until they reach the intestines. For this reason, Peppermint Caps are often very helpful for people with both reflux and IBS who cannot tolerate peppermint in other forms (such as teas or foods).

Peppermint also contains essential oils that stimulate the gallbladder to secrete its store of bile, which the body uses to digest fats. Peppermint also improves the function of the muscles that line the stomach and intestines, relieves diarrhea, and has a calming, numbing effect on the GI tract.

*Ginger is helpful for a wide variety of gastrointestinal ailments ranging from simple indigestion to severe nausea and cramps. Ginger contains very powerful digestive enzymes, acts as an anti-spasmodic, helps prevent vomiting, and improves the tone of intestinal muscles. It also has a mild anti-inflammatory action.

*Fennel has anti-spasmodic properties and it stimulates the production of gastric juices. It's useful for gastrointestinal and menstrual cramps, diarrhea, colic, heartburn, indigestion, and stomachaches. Fennel is exceptionally beneficial for bloating and gas.

*Peppermint, ginger, and fennel are helpful not just for IBS, but also for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis, plus diverticulosis and diverticulitis.
