Its natural....and has natural soothing properties for soothing an upset tummy. Again this is just what has worked for me and my mother...with her having IBS VERY VERY BADLY....I have finally got her to try it and she is quiet impressed with the results. The USA produces more peppermint essential oil than any other country, however the European Oil is regarded as being superior in qualit to any other. I use this oil alot in the winter time when I get sinus colds... I mix the essential oil with almond oil and rub that on my nose and chest (like people do with Vicks) Infact Menominees, a tribe of North American Indian's used Peppermint Oil to treat pneumonia. Peppermint Oil will relieve any kind of skin irritaion or itching, but should be used in moderation (LESS than 1%) Peppermint is effective against rinigworm, scabies, and is used homeopathicly for shingles. I also use this for Mosquito repellent. Especially with the latest West Nile Virus. If I know I'm going to be outside for a long period of time I will use this instead of the " store bought repellant " ..... Just an idea...if your interested in more information on Peppermint Oil...I have a ton on essential oils. I'd be happy to give anyone information. Again I'm not pushing anyone...just an idea and what has worked well for me and my mother. Hope this helps....Have a good day.
