The effects of peppermint oil on chemotherapy-associated nausea, vomiting, and retching were explored in adult cancer patients in an open-label quasi-randomized controlled pilot study. Application of 3% peppermint oil between the upper lip and nose as aromatherapy 3 times daily for 5 days following chemotherapy led to statistically significant improvement in the nausea-vomiting-retching scores for peppermint compared to controls (no aromatherapy) on days 1, 2, 3, and 4 for 4 of the 5 chemotherapy regimens (ie, folfirinox, paclitaxel-trastuzumab, carboplatin AUC < 4-paclitaxel, cyclophosphamide-adriamycin) but not for the cisplatin regimen ( P<0.001 to P=0.047).( Efe Erturk 2021) Quite like the idea of making your own peppermint oil?

Menthol is available in a variety of nonprescription products (eg, chest rubs, inhalants, lozenges, syrups) for the treatment of colds and related congestion and cough. A decrease in cough was demonstrated in children when menthol inhalation was compared with placebo.( Houghton 1998) The mechanism by which menthol may act as an antitussive is speculative( Eccles 1994); however, anion transporters (eg, TPRV1, TRPA1, ASICs) in airway epithelial cells have been implicated.( Morise 2010, Wise 2012) In a study of 12 healthy volunteers, a significant increase in cough threshold was observed via chemosensory stimulation using a sucrose mouth rinse followed by inhalation of menthol vapor. However, the effects demonstrated by l-menthol were lower than those following mouth rinse with the sucrose solution (25% vs 45%, respectively). High individual variability in sensitivity to menthol and sucrose pretreatment was observed.( Wise 2012) Antitussive effects were also demonstrated in adult patients with sensory hyper-reactivity and chronic cough (N=29) following pretreatment with a 1% ( P<0.02) and 0.5% ( P<0.05) nebulized menthol solution compared to placebo.( Millqvist 2013) Peppermint oil should not be administered to patients with gastroesophageal reflux or active gastric ulcers because the oil decreases esophageal sphincter pressure.
