I'm sorry, by the time I finished posting that, I forgot what my point was. I was hoping maybe Tree could figure it out.
I think it had something to do with the die-off of bacteria in the small intestine with regard to peppermint oil capsules.
Maybe it is a herx that Tree's been having and maybe I need to go get me some peppermint.

I have gotten better using primarily an essential oil protocol. The first time people use some of these oils they experience an aggravation of symptoms because the keets hate the stuff. The dormant stuff comes out, swarms, and dies. It is probably a combination of the peppermint essential oil irritating the keets and forcing them out of hiding, or them dying after coming out for the sugar in your mouth after being exposed to the oil.

Peppermint here in Europe is known to keep people awaken (a bit different than coffee though, you get a different type of excitation from it, less high). No wonder people can't sleep after it.
Although I like to eat peppermint leaves in summer, my tummy hates the tea (even though I like the taste). I'll get tummy aches from it. Definitively, the definition 'to help digestion' that is attributted to peppermint is not for me.
Esssential oils of peppermint and extremely strong. I would never recommend it for ingestion. I rubbed it though on my body, together with eucaliptus and something else (Chinese recipy, google Olbas oil) and it was really helpful.
I guess Farah is right, it does kill stuff, at least when rubbed directly. The main problem though is the cold feeling that comes after. I rubbed it when I got desperate feeling borrelia in my muscles, making my arms numb (hands and whole arms numb), and it certainly killed. The great problem was that I got so chilly after, because I rubbed on my whole back and arms and it took me very long to stop shivering that night.
Now I'm more attentive, and rub only in smaller parts. Rubbing oils reach parts that aren't reached by ingestion, in my opinion. Yes, I rubbed the pure essential oil mix, without dilution.
Another very useful thing to do with peppermint and alike essential oils is accupuncture (with oils instead of needles). It's not so deep as needles but it clearly helps when applied correctly. I did that for YEARS when I suffered from gastritis, not on my tummy, but on the bladder meridian beside my vertebral column, it felt like nirvana sometimes.
Peppermint will excite the accupuncture point, if is that what your body is wanting. If done in the wrong accu points though, the ones that need to have less energy, it will worsen your situation. Energetic tests can tell you what you need in each specific point.
I heard that ticks don't like peppermint and that it's a good idea to plant it in your garden. The only problem is that it is an invasive plant and you'll probably get your garden invaded by it soon.
that's my experience with peppermint.
