SOME OF THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF PEPPERMINT OIL
It is well documented that healthy intestinal digestion provides a sense of well-being and good health

Intestinal Relief
Pain and cramps from occasional bowel irritation can be excruciating, not to mention the accompanying gas, nausea, fatigue and even headache. If this is an occurrence you know all too well, try peppermint oil.

Proven effective
In a published clinical study, 83% of peppermint oil users reported reduction in abdominal pain, flatulence, bloating and frequency of bowel movements.

All reported a greater sense of well-being

It works because peppermint contains menthol, a smooth muscle relaxant that helps break-up intestinal foam, thus allowing gas to pass through the digestive tract.  Menthol also lower bowel spasms associated with gas.

Peppermint Oil has also proven to be an effective relief for irritable bowel syndrome
