Prevent & Relieve IBS Pain, Bloating, Spasms, Gas
A generous supply of Tummy Tamers and Tummy Teas for the dietary management of IBS symptoms, particularly abdominal pain, spasms, bloating, and gas. The teas can be brewed as often as needed for immediate help while the Tummy Tamers work best to head off problems when taken in advance of symptoms. For example, if mornings are a rough time, take a capsule last thing at night before bed.
Heather's Tummy Tamers Peppermint Oil Capsules are a medical food for the dietary management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms. Clinical studies have shown that, as part of the diet: peppermint relieves abdominal pain, diarrhea, and urgency; fennel helps relax the gut and aids bloating; ginger contains powerful digestive enzymes and aids nausea. Enteric peppermint oil capsules have been clinically tested and shown to help the dietary management of IBS symptoms in both adults and children.
Heather's Tummy Tamers Peppermint Oil Capsules are unique because they are specially formulated for intense bowel soothing that addresses global IBS symptoms through the combined effects of peppermint, fennel, and ginger oils. We also use a very special enteric gelatin shell to improve tolerance for those prone to heartburn or reflux.
Heather's Tummy Tea Fennel is a medical food for the dietary management of IBS symptoms. Fennel is an ancient herb with a mild licorice flavor that, through dietary management, helps relieve IBS symptoms, including bloating, gas, and intestinal cramps.
Clinical studies have shown that fennel helps regulate contractions of the small intestine and aids gas expulsion. Fennel also relaxes the gut, which can relieve spasms of the GI tract.
Fennel has anti-spasmodic properties, and is a carminative - an agent that prevents the formation and helps the expulsion of gas in the gastrointestinal tract. It also stimulates the production of gastric juices. As a result, fennel assists in the dietary management of IBS symptoms, and is exceptional for IBS bloating, gas and abdominal pain. Fennel is also a traditional digestive aid for colic, heartburn, indigestion, and stomachaches.
Heather's Tummy Tea Peppermint is a medical food for the dietary management of IBS symptoms. Peppermint is one of the oldest of herbs, with a cooling, calming effect. Clinical studies have shown that it is exceptionally beneficial for IBS abdominal pain and spasms, diarrhea, and urgency. Peppermint will not cause or worsen constipation.
Menthol and methyl salicylate, the main active ingredients of peppermint, have soothing effects on the stomach and intestinal tract. Internally, they have anti-spasmodic actions on the muscles of the stomach, intestinal tract, and uterus. Peppermint also has powerful analgesic (pain-killing) properties. Peppermint is naturally anti-bacterial, it increases gastric juices, and helps relieves gas, nausea, vomiting, and morning sickness. Peppermint contains essential oils that stimulate the gallbladder to secrete its store of bile, which the body uses to digest fats.

How does Peppermint Tummy Tea relieve IBS symptoms?
How Peppermint Works for IBS — The Science of Soothing Relief
Peppermint is more than just a flavor — it's a powerhouse antispasmodic that can quickly calm and relax your gastrointestinal tract.
If urgency, pain, bloating, or post-meal panic are dominating your days, Heather's Peppermint Tummy Tea offers fast, effective relief backed by science.
What Makes Peppermint Tea So Effective for IBS?
High Volatile Oil Action — The essential oils in peppermint leaf, especially menthol and methyl salicylate, are rapidly absorbed through your mouth's buccal mucous membranes — no digestion required.
That means near-instant results, right when you need it.
Dual Mechanisms That Tame IBS:
1️⃣ Smooth Muscle Relaxation
Your gut is made of smooth muscle tissue. The two key minerals that regulate these muscles are magnesium (relaxes) and calcium (contracts). Peppermint blocks calcium channels, allowing your intestinal muscles to let go of spasms and cramps.
2️⃣ Visceral Sensitivity Modulation
People with IBS often have a heightened sensitivity to pain signals — known as visceral hypersensitivity. Peppermint works directly on pain-sensing neurons to dull this overactive response, calming your entire GI tract.
Fast, Natural, Powerful Relief
Whether you're battling bloating, cramps, or the unpredictability of IBS symptoms, peppermint tea is your gentle but powerful ally. With high volatile oil levels and centuries of use behind it, it’s not just a tradition — it’s a clinically-supported comfort.
Brew strong. Sip and swallow. Soothe instantly.
Are there any restrictions on peppermint use?
Peppermint is contraindicated for hearburn, GERD, and reflux.
Can Peppermint Tummy Tea be used with other IBS products?
Yes! Peppermint Tummy Tea works beautifully alongside other IBS products. You can blend it directly with
Fennel Tummy Tea — even brewing both herbs together in the same cup for synergistic relief.
It also pairs well with Heather's Tummy Fiber Acacia. If you're using Tummy Tamers Peppermint Oil Capsules,
it's safe to enjoy the tea on the same day — just don’t take both at the exact same time unless the tea has cooled.
Hot liquids can dissolve the Tummy Tamer capsules prematurely.
How do I use Peppermint Tummy Tea?
Brew 1 jumbo teabag or 1 tablespoon of loose peppermint leaf in a cup or mug of freshly boiled water. (Do not actually boil the tea.) Steep for at least 10 minutes —
the longer you steep, the stronger the brew. For maximum digestive support, drink it black.
Peppermint Tummy Tea can be enjoyed before, during, or after meals — or anytime you need rapid relief from IBS symptoms
like urgency, pain, cramps, or bloating. It’s caffeine-free, so it’s safe to sip all day and night.
Where is Peppermint Tummy Tea sourced and made?
Heather’s Peppermint Tummy Tea is organically grown in the Pacific Northwest, harvested just for us using premium, medical-grade
cut and sift leaf with an exceptionally high volatile oil content (up to 3%).
It’s then hand-packed in Washington State in our own IBS-dedicated facility using jumbo tea bags made from
biodegradable plant fiber mesh — not plastic or bleached paper.
We oversee every step to ensure the highest potency, purity, and therapeutic value possible.
How do I prepare my high volatile oil Fennel Tummy Tea?
Brew 1 jumbo teabag or 1 Tablespoon of loose tea in a cup of freshly boiled water for at least 10 minutes. The longer you brew it the stronger it will be. For best results brew it brown. Drink as often as you wish, before, during, after meals, or anytime you need immediate help with IBS.
How often can I drink my Fennel Tummy Tea?
As often as you wish, before, during, or after meals. It is helpful for fast relief of symptoms, on a full or empty stomach.
Is Fennel Tummy Tea beneficial for heartburn or acid reflux?
Yes, fennel tea can reduce stomach acidity and soothe the digestive lining, relieving heartburn and reflux symptoms. It is also very helpful for indigestion. For people who cannot tolerate peppermint tea due to heartburn, fennel is your safety net.
Is it safe to use long-term?
Yes. When prepared properly, fennel tea from medicinal-grade seeds is safe and beneficial for regular use in digestive support and IBS.
What is high volatile oil medicinal strength Fennel Tummy Tea,and how is it different from regular fennel tea?
Our Tummy Tea is sourced from organic whole fennel seeds. The volatile oil content is 2–6% with anethole, fenchone, and estragole levels that are much higher than the 0.5% found in culinary-grade seeds. It's the volatile oils that have medicinal digestive benefits.
