What Are the Benefits of Enteric-Coated Peppermint Oil?
Known for its fresh, naturally sweet flavor, peppermint is a commonly grown herb that is actually a cross between water mint and spearmint. The leaves, either fresh or dried, are often used to brew an invigorating tea, but according to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, peppermint oil has long been used to ease nausea, digestive problems and headaches. More recently, peppermint oil, taken in liquid form, capsules or enteric-coated tablets, has become a popular supplement used to ease the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
