Japanisches Heilpflanzenöl

**Japanisches Heilpflanzenöl** (Japanese medicinal plant oil) is a traditional herbal medicine containing 100% pure mint oil (*Menthae arvensis aetheroleum partim mentholum depletum*), primarily sourced from the Japanese mint plant (*Mentha arvensis var. piperascens*). Developed and marketed by **MCM Klosterfrau**, it is widely used for its versatile therapeutic properties. When administered orally, it acts as an antispasmodic and carminative agent to relieve digestive complaints such as bloating, flatulence, and fullness, primarily by blocking L-type calcium channels in gastrointestinal smooth muscle. When inhaled, it acts as a decongestant and secretolytic to alleviate symptoms of the common cold with viscous mucus. When applied topically, its high menthol content activates TRPM8 cold receptors, producing a cooling, analgesic effect that relieves muscle pain (myalgia) and localized nerve pain.
