Peppermint Oil Really Does Help

I have been taking Peppermint Oil capsules (high strength) for nearly 5 months now and so far it is really working for me. I use it for my Irritable Bowel Syndrome and bloating and to aid digestion. Before taking it I used to get bad stomach cramps and have to rush to the bathroom a few times in the morning. I noticed the change after just a few weeks of taking the peppermint oil capsules which is a natural remedy for such symptoms. They are not expensive either as I can get a container of 100 capsules for £3.00 ($5). Have you had peppermint oil before and have you also found it to be beneficial?

I don't use the capsule, but I have the oil which is good to freshen breath, wake me up when I am tired (like on the long drive to school) it opens my sinuses, and I make a wonderful toothpaste with it. So yep, I love my peppermint oil.

I find that drinking peppermint tea helps when my stomach feels distressed. I never tried capsules but glad to hear that they are working.

I have never taken peppermint capsules. I love using peppermint spray around the house and my sons study table. It brings back energy and relieves tiredness.

I am home from work today because of the spasms. I was in remission for almost a year and extreme stress last week brought me out. I've been trying so many things but haven't tried the peppermint oil or tea. I will try it today.

Are your problems the only thing peppermint oil is good for or are there other health problems it's good for as well?

I think it has other benefits but the ones I mentioned are the main ones I think.

This is really good information, I'll try peppermint oil in future when I feel constipated.

It does help with digestive issues but if you are constipated try having more fiber or rasins/figs :D
