Natural Factors Peppermint Oregano Oil Complex, 60 Soft Gels Features : Peppermint is actually a hybrid plant made by combining two other types of mint: watermint and spearmint. Peppermint oils healthful properties come from its menthol.Peppermint may act as a carminative for the digestive system, meaning that it helps ease gas, bloating, and indigestion. The herb may help relax the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract so they are less spastic. Peppermint may also reduce irritation in the stomach and intestines, which is why it may help with irritable bowel syndrome. Oregano oil, meanwhile, may have strong antimicrobial, and milder antispasmodic, properties, but it is also known as an antioxidant and mild stimulant. Antimicrobials help neutralize pathogenic microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites. Antioxidants fight the free radicals that can cause permanent cell damage. Antispasmodics also relax skeletal and smooth muscle, whereas stimulants generally increase the heart rate. The most active antimicrobial in oregano is carvacrol, which may help your body fight mild internal and external infections and inhibit compounds that produceproblematic responses. Caraway seeds may also be helpful for indigestion and intestinal gas. These seeds may be able to stimulate healthy stomach action and ease gas production.
