Our research shows bloating can be caused by acid damage to the valves at the top and bottom of the stomach. With ongoing acid exposure, the valves can become scarred and stiff. This prevents them from opening and closing easily and gas becomes trapped in the stomach. We know, this can be painful, embarrassing and unsightly.

If left unaddressed, the stomach can even balloon above the diaphragm. This is called a hiatal hernia, Which can be uncomfortable and painful forever. So it’s important to address bloating after meals quickly.

Peppermint Oil is traditionally used to cool soothe and relax tissues after meals, it’s why its pleasant to eat a mint after meals. This peppermint is very strong and we’ve also added ginger and fennel oils to assist in calming comforting and soothing your body.

How we use it: At the first sign of bloating we get two peppermint gels, with some water in the mouth bite one gel with the back teeth to open it (it’s strong and minty but not unpleasant). Swallow the broken capsule and the whole capsule at the same time. Ourselves and our clients typically start burping from the first capsule within a few minutes, and passing lower trapped gas once the enteric coated peppermint gel can soothe the lower digestive valves.
