- W142051280 abstract "The use of herbal products for medical conditions is increasing. Medicinal uses are generally based on traditional uses of herbs, usually culinary, but research is now providing some evidence of effectiveness for these uses and others. Peppermint is one example of such a herb. Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) is a member of the mint family, and its use as a medicine was first described in 1696. 1 It has been used as an antispasmodic, an antiseptic and an aromatic in traditional medicine in the Eastern and Western worlds. It has been used to treat indigestion, nausea, sore throats, colds, toothaches, cramps and cancers. The menthol component of peppermint oil is used as an inhalant for upper respiratory tract disorders, and is an ingredient in many liniments and ointments for sore muscles. The traditional use of peppermint for digestive disorders is thought to be the key reason for its use as after dinner mints. Peppermint for medicinal uses is usually in the form of an oil. The chemistry of peppermint oil is complex as more than 100 components have been identified. The relative concentrations of these components depend on climate, cultivars and geog r a p h i cl o c a t i o n . 1 The main components are menthol (29 to 48%) and menthone (20 to 31%) and it also contains various flavonoids, which contribute to its overall activity as an antioxidant. Peppermint oil is available as the oil and enteric-coated capsules (Mintec), and also as a component of other gut medications and various nasopharyngeal m e d i c a t i o n s . Gut-related effects of peppermint oil Peppermint oil is widely used for digestive disorders and its gut-related effects are discussed below. It also has a number of other actions including stimulant, coolant, antiallergy, antiviral, sedative, diuretic and analgesic effects. Gastrointestinal effects The spasmolytic effect of peppermint oil has been demonstrated on the smooth muscle of the digestive tract in humans. I n v i t r oexperiments carried out on isolated small and large animal intestinal preparations have shown an antispasmodic effect. These antispasmodic effects are caused by interactions of peppermint oil with smooth muscle calcium channels. 2" @default.
