i've been suffering from IBS for about 20 years. I am in my fourties now and it's not really getting better. I was wondering if there are any herbal remedies we can use?. I heard peppermint oil is helpful can someone give me some information or advice please?
Peppermint oil will help with indigestion & heartburn, coconut oil helps to eliminate other things, you really need to look at your diet x
Peppermint oil capsules before meals or problem foods/drinks will help as it puts a soothing lining on the bowels. Too many peppermint oil pills could give you reflux.
Peppermint tea can also help. I belove ginger is also good for some people.
I am a 54 year old male and have had IBS for almost 30 years.
Home made fresh coconut oil but not aten but use as a skin cleanser
Ad a squeeze of lemon for brushing ones teeth hehe
peppermint and ginger help with nausea, peppermint also with cramps. a lot of indian spices are good for digestion, as is fennel.
it depends what works for you.
