Trillions of bacteria live in the human gut, ideally in a balanced equilibrium. These gut bacteria not only support digestion but also play a central role in immune defense. “Good” microorganisms, such as lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, act specifically against various pathogens.
Patients with irritable bowel syndrome often have a reduced number of these physiologically valuable bacteria. This imbalance can contribute to the development of irritable bowel syndrome and the associated symptoms.

What can help you?
The treatment of irritable bowel syndrome is usually based on the predominant symptoms such as pain, bloating, constipation, and/or diarrhea.
In addition to conventional medications, herbal extracts are also frequently used in self-medication for symptomatic treatment. Particularly well established are Carum carvi fructus (true caraway) and Mentha piperita foliae (peppermint leaves), or their essential oils.
Carum carvi fructus, known as true caraway, has the ability to support the intestines – especially in cases of disturbed gut flora, bloating, and irregular bowel movements. Caraway has anti-inflammatory effects, promotes the production of digestive juices, displaces pathogenic intestinal bacteria, and improves blood circulation in the gastrointestinal mucosa.
Mentha piperita foliae (peppermint leaves) help relieve gastrointestinal discomfort through their digestive-supporting and antispasmodic effects. In addition, they stimulate the production of bile acids, which positively influences the digestive process.
Conclusion
The essential oils from peppermint and true caraway can effectively relieve symptoms in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. They have a calming effect on the digestive tract, relax the intestinal muscles, and thus explain their antispasmodic properties. Herbal medicinal products therefore represent a useful complementary treatment option for irritable bowel syndrome.
