At the root of IBS is 'stress' so pure essential oils will help to promote a sense of well being for you. Lavender, Sandalwood, Geranium, Chamomile, Bergamot put into a base oil (singularly or mix) will all work, whether burned or used in the bath. Put some on a pillow or in a handkerchief, it will all have a mood enhancing effect.

I'm not sure that scented oil will do an awful lot, but you could try taking Lepicol or similar from your local health food shop which might help the condition.
If you need to destress lavender oil will help you relax and is lovely in the bath

It is not a scented oil, but it is doing a great job fighting my IBS and that is aloe vera juice. My doctor told me to drink it and it works well. The taste takes some getting used to.

Hi no scented oils are good for anything, try pure essential oils from a reputable supplier, like boots on the high streets. The oils that are good are black pepper, Chamomile or fennel. Contact an Aromatherapist who can help you with how to use these oils. If you need any additional information please do not hesitate to contact me dochsa.co.uk, Reiki is also very good for this ailment.

None. Whatever you do, do not swallow any scented oil.

You should probably be more concerned with ingesting something rather than smelling something. Ginger and peppermint work well.
