It also decreases spasms in the digestive tract that cause
diarrhea
and symptoms characterizing
irritable bowel
syndrome.
Its antispasmodic activity is due to the blockage of
calcium
channels in intestinal muscle cells. By preventing
calcium
exchange muscles do not contract. Peppermint is also used in
aromatherapy
as an energizing agent.

Peppermint may be a part of formulas for soothing digestion. The oil is often added to candy, gum and used in baths. The essential oil of peppermint is a highly concentrated substance. When using
essential oils

Peppermint Gels FAQs
Will I experience an aftertaste from taking peppermint gels?
These capsules are enteric-coated to release in a pH of 5.5 or higher. They are designed to not open in the stomach. This will reduce the small possibility of this oil "repeating". People will not normally taste this after they take them on an empty stomach.
In the unlikely event that you experience an aftertaste from this product, try to take them a short time BEFORE a meal, so that they will still pass through the stomach undigested, but the food in the stomach could then form a physical barrier to the oils moving back up.
These capsules are designed to withstand over an hour of exposure to stomach acid, but will dissolve in less than an hour in the more alkaline intestinal juices.
