Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is more than just a refreshing scent—it’s a powerful herb with centuries of use in natural medicine. In equine nutrition, peppermint is prized for its ability to support healthy digestion, reduce gas and bloating, and soothe the gastrointestinal tract.
Found in our Equine Healthy Gut blend, peppermint helps horses feel more comfortable from the inside out—especially during diet changes, stress, or intense training.
Why Peppermint Is a Go-To Herb for Gut Health
The essential oils in peppermint, particularly menthol and menthone, have been scientifically studied for their ability to calm and balance the digestive system. Here's how they help:
🌿 Relieves Digestive Discomfort
Peppermint helps soothe the stomach lining, reduce spasms, and ease symptoms of colic or gas-related bloating.
🌿 Encourages a Healthy Appetite
Its refreshing aroma stimulates the appetite, helping picky eaters or recovering horses get back on track nutritionally.
🌿 Reduces Inflammation & Cramping
Menthol acts as a natural muscle relaxant, which can help reduce tension in the gut and improve nutrient absorption.
🌿 Naturally Supports a Healthy Gut
Used alongside prebiotics and other gut-supportive herbs, peppermint is a gentle, effective way to promote overall digestive wellness and comfort.
