- Title
Peppermint oil for irritable bowel syndrome: a critical review and metaanalysis.
- Authors
Pittler, M H; Ernst, E
- Abstract
Peppermint oil is the major constituent of several over-the-counter remedies for symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). As the etiology of IBS is not known and treatment is symptomatic, there is a ready market for such products. However, evidence to support their use is sparse. The aim of this study was to review the clinical trials of extracts of peppermint (Mentha X piperita L.) as a symptomatic treatment for IBS.
