Dispepsia fungsional mempengaruhi >20% populasi umum. Gejala-gejala dispepsia fungsional sering dikaitkan dengan gangguan kualitas hidup pasien. Sampai sekarang, pengobatan dispepsia fungsional masih kontrovesial. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya review mengenai terapi alternatif lain yang salah satunya dapat berasal dari tanaman herbal. Hasil literature review menunjukkan terapi kombinasi minyak peppermint dan minyak jintan memiliki aktivitas sinergis karena minyak peppermint memiliki sifat spasmolitik dan minyak jintan berperan dalam peningkatan tonus otot polos sehingga efektif untuk menghilangkan rasa sakit dan rasa tidak nyaman pada pasien dengan dispepsia fungsional. Pengembangan penelitian lebih lanjut dengan skala yang lebih besar dan berjangka panjang diperlukan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas dari terapi herbal ini.
