Viridian Delayed Release Peppermint oil is commonly used as a natural remedy for various digestive issues due to its potential digestive benefits. Here are some ways in which peppermint oil may help with digestion:

1. **Relief from Indigestion:** Peppermint oil plus may help alleviate symptoms of indigestion, such as bloating, gas, and stomach discomfort. It can relax the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, which may ease the passage of food and reduce the sensation of fullness.

2. **Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS):** Some studies suggest that peppermint oil plus, particularly when enteric-coated to release in the intestines, can help reduce symptoms of IBS, including abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea. It may work by relaxing the smooth muscles in the colon and reducing spasms.

3. **Nausea and Vomiting:** Delayed Release Peppermint oil plus, when inhaled or applied topically (e.g., diluted in a carrier oil and massaged onto the skin), may help reduce nausea. It can also be added to a diffuser for inhalation.

4. **Appetite Suppression:** The aroma of Delayed Release peppermint may help curb appetite, potentially assisting with weight management by reducing overeating.

5. **Gallbladder and Bile Function:** Delayed Release Peppermint oil capsules may stimulate the flow of bile, which can aid in digestion and the breakdown of fats.

Here are some common ways to use peppermint oil for digestive purposes:

– **Peppermint Tea:** Brewing peppermint tea with fresh or dried peppermint leaves can be soothing for the digestive system.

– **Diluted Peppermint Oil:** You can dilute a few drops of pure peppermint essential oil in a carrier oil (such as coconut or almond oil) and massage it onto your abdomen to alleviate digestive discomfort.

– **Enteric-Coated Delayed Release Peppermint Oil plus Capsules:** Enteric-coated peppermint oil capsules are designed to release the oil in the intestines rather than the stomach, which can be more effective for some digestive issues.

It’s important to note that while peppermint oil plus can be beneficial for many people, it may not be suitable for everyone. Some individuals may experience adverse effects, such as heartburn or allergic reactions. Always consult with a healthcare professional before using peppermint oil or any herbal remedy, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have underlying health conditions. Additionally, it’s essential to use peppermint oil in moderation and follow recommended dosages to avoid potential side effects.
