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 make our Tummy Tamers here in Kent, Washington with local peppermint oil, steam distilled from peppermint fields in the Columbia River Valley. This means we can spec for peppermint oil with the best volatile oil profile from each harvest, for the highest medicinal strength.
We now use a patented, very special enteric gelatin to improve tolerance for those prone to heartburn or reflux. This gelatin has enteric properties built right in, for better protection against heartburn than simple enteric coatings, which are delicate and easily compromised.
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.

Peppermint Tummy Tea FAQ
How does Peppermint Tummy Tea relieve IBS symptoms?
Peppermint is a powerful antispasmodic that can quickly calm and relax the GI tract. Peppermint Tummy Tea stops IBS urgency, pain, and bloating. High volatile oil peppermint tea has compounds that rapidly absorb from the buccal mucous membranes in your mouth directly into your bloodstream.
These volatile oils in peppermint are mainly menthol and methyl salicylate.
They have two main mechanisms of action.
1. Smooth muscle relaxation
Your entire gut is smooth muscle tissue. Calcium and magnesium together regulate gut muscle contractions. Magnesium relaxes, but calcium contracts. Peppermint blocks the calcium channel, so your gut muscles can relax.
2. Visceral sensitivity modulation. Peppermint affects pain sensing neurons in a way that dulls the visceral hypersensitivity of IBS.

The perfect combination
I typically start my day with a capsule on an empty stomach to get on the right track, and 2 cups of each kind of tea throughout the day. These combined with regular tummy fiber have helped me more than any other medication I've tried.

Keeps my tummy in check!
I have been using Heather's Tummy Care products on and off for years, with the Tummy Fiber being a staple of mine. I recently decided to pay better attention to my IBS as perimenopause has exacerbated some symptoms. The peppermint caps are a game changer and I can't recommend them enough. The fennel tea is so soothing and the peppermint tea is a great way to unwind in the evening and take care of your tummy. These truly are the best products for IBS.
