After a big meal on thanksgiving, grab essential oils for bloating and gas sometimes follows. If you're like me, you've suffered from stomach bloating, excess wind and flatulence before and for as long as you can remember. Essential oils for bloating will help relieve the symptoms that are unpleasant: you feel sluggish, uncomfortable and unattractive, and it happens seemingly at random. Other conditions that can benefit from essential oils is irritable bowel syndrome.

There are many causes for bloating and any number of recommended bloating remedies too. What if told you about one such remedy? A natural essential oil, totally harmless, with no side-effects. What if I said that this remedy has been used medicinally for centuries across the world and is readily and cheaply available? This wonder remedy is peppermint oil.

What is peppermint oil? Peppermint oil is fragrant oil from the peppermint plant. It is used widely in all kinds of everyday products such as chewing gum and toothpaste. This wonderful natural remedy naturally tones the stomach, liver and intestines. It is also used to successfully treat ulcers, nausea, headaches, the symptoms of asthma, cystitis. It even has significant anti-viral properties too, used in the treatment of herpes.

How does it help with bloating?

Bloating can be caused by a whole range of reasons. There are 2 main causes of bloating for which peppermint oil has a significant effect:

1. IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), believed to be caused by spasms in the colon and lower intestines. Peppermint oil has an 'antispasmodic' action that relieves and calms these spasms. This not only relieves bloating but also other common symptoms of IBS such as flatulence, stomach pains, and diarrhea.

2. Undigested food which reaches the lower intestine and stays there. This can occur for all sorts of reasons: poor diet, eating too quickly or drinking too much fluid while eating, for example. The undigested food then ferments, producing excess gas which results in wind and bloating.

Peppermint oil naturally contains thymol and eugenol, both of which balance intestinal flora (the 'good' bacteria which is an important factor in healthy digestion) and reduce the fermentation of undigested food.

How do I take peppermint oil?
It is important to take the 'essential oil', as it is believed to be 70 times more potent than just the plant itself. For the purposes of reducing bloating, you have 2 options: buy the oil in capsules that you swallow, or drink it as peppermint tea.

1. Peppermint tea simply comes as tea bags, made in much the same way as you would make a normal cup of tea (but without the milk). I find it best to drink peppermint tea after meals for the best effect.

2. Take one drop of peppermint oil under the tongue or in a 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil.
Other essential oils for bloating include: Ginger essential oil, Fennel essential oil, Juniper Berry essential oil, Roman Chamomile essential oil
