Of course, peppermint essential oil also comes in liquid form, but according to Heather’s, capsules are preferable, because they do not dissolve directly in the stomach. Rather, they dissolve in the intestinal tract because they are made with 50% more enteric coating as compared to other leading brands. Heather’s Tummy Tamers Peppermint Oil Capsules are produced with an enteric-coated blend of peppermint, fennel, and ginger essential oils, which relieve as well as calm the digestive tract. Peppermint, along with a healthful diet aids in the alleviation of abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and the sense of urgency, resulting from IBS. Menthol and methyl salicylate, byproducts of peppermint essential oil are the primary active ingredients of peppermint, which have soothing properties in the stomach lining, digestive system, and intestinal tract. Despite the fact that peppermint is a powerful muscle relaxant, it also can induce GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) or heartburn in some people whose system is particularly sensitive.
