Peppermint Oil is used in the treatment of bloating, abdominal cramp and flatulence (gas formation).
How Peppermint Oil works
Peppermint Oil has a relaxing effect on the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract. It works by blocking calcium channels in the gut wall, leading to muscle relaxation. This helps relieve abdominal cramps, bloating, and gas by reducing spasms and promoting the passage of gas. Additionally, it has natural soothing and antispasmodic properties that help ease discomfort in conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
