THE CARMINATIVE ACTION OF VOLATILE OILS

J. W. C. GUNN 1

1 University of Cape Town; from the Pharmacological Laboratory, University College, London

1. The carminative action of volatile oils can best be explained by their relaxing and inhibiting the movements of plain muscle.

2. Their other effects on the gastro-intestinal tract may be explained by their local irritant action, by reflexes arising therefrom, or possibly by acceleration of absorption.
