Can somebody tell me how can peppermint oil help ibs?

May block intestinal: Peppermint is listed as "possibly effective" for colic, indigestion, nausea, tension headaches. It is thought to act like a menthol or flavonoid by interfering in the production of smooth (autonomic nervous system) muscle contraction and stimulation of bile secretion.
