Evidence Summary

L-Menthol has demonstrated antiperistaltic effects during endoscopy as a safe alternative to hyoscine-N-butylbromide in elderly patients (PMID: 35729250), and in combination with caraway oil provides meaningful symptom relief in functional dyspepsia with 95% of patients reporting improvement and a strong safety profile over 36 months (PMID: 35255832). Olfactory stimulation with L-menthol selectively improved qualitative aspects of dyspnea in COPD and interstitial lung disease patients during exercise (PMID: 41653613), and topical application has been shown to stimulate brown adipose tissue thermogenesis and fat oxidation in humans (PMID: 40637368).
