PEPPERMINT
By: Articles by a Naturopathic Doctor and a Holistic Nutritionist
Peppermint can be very beneficial for your bowels and digestion...
Peppermint is found in many candies, mints and gums that line the supermarket checkout. Its fresh, clean taste and smell are a favourite for breath freshening products. Did you know that Peppermint does more than freshen your breath after you eat? Medicinally it is known as a carminative, an herb that decreases gas and bloating. 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 can be purchased as a loose herb, encapsulated herb, enteric-coated oil tablet or essential oil. The loose herb is a popular tea. 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 they can be diluted in carrier oil, such as olive, almond or any cooking oil.
Essential oils can be toxic when taken internally therefore, Use the essential oil of peppermint cautiously. Do not give peppermint to individuals with gallstones, biliary obstruction, hiatal hernia or liver damage. Do not give peppermint oil to children, pregnant women, nursing mothers or individuals with allergies to the mint family. Do not take peppermint oil concurrently with calcium channel blockers.
