What's So Special about High Volatile Oil Peppermint for IBS Pain, Spasms and Cramps?

• Peppermint is a naturally caffeine-free herb with an ancient history.
  
  
• Menthol and methyl salicylate are the main active ingredients of peppermint.
  
  
  • These are anti-spasmodics, with calming effects on the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract. They also have powerful analgesic, or pain-killing, properties.
    
    
  • This makes high volatile oil peppermint tea exceptionally helpful for quickly relieving, and even preventing, IBS pain, spasms, and cramps.
    
    



• Peppermint is also anti-bacterial, increases gastric juices, and relieves gas and nausea. Peppermint contains essential oils that stimulate the gallbladder to secrete its store of bile, which the body uses to digest fats. This makes peppermint tea a wonderful digestive aid for heavy meals.
  
  
• The only peppermint tea specifically formulated for a high volatile oil content and medicinal strength for people with IBS is organic Heather's Peppermint Tummy Tea. It has a noticeably calming, soothing, and relaxing effect on the entire GI tract.
  
  
• In fact, peppermint is such a powerful muscle relaxant it can trigger heartburn in people who are susceptible. If you are prone to acid reflux, avoid peppermint and stick to high volatile oil fennel tea for IBS.
  
  

Tip Takeaway: Drinking peppermint tea every day will help prevent IBS pain and spasms in the first place, but if you're already suffering from these very common IBS symptoms, peppermint Tummy Tea will help quickly relieve them.
