What will you do in an emergency to treat if your medicine is not available? Even worse, what if medical care was not available?

Peppermint to the rescue. The  abdominal pain, gas, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation that results from IBD can be relieved with peppermint oil.

One study by gut docs found that about one in three IBS sufferers can benefit from peppermint oil.

The pharmaceutical antispasmodic drugs were found to only help one in six.

How much: three 0.2-mL capsules a day.

Exception….Do not use if  you have gastroesophageal reflux disease or a hiatal hernia. These can be aggrovated by the peppermint.
