Results: Furthermore it was shown that time to regain of GIT motility was statistically significantly shorter among peppermint research group than among coffee research group with 30 minutes difference in peppermint group.(p value < 0.001). Regain of GIT motility rate was statistically significantly higher among peppermint group than among coffee group (p value<0.001). the Time to first pass of flatuss was statistically significantly shorter among peppermint research group than among coffee research group with 30 minutes difference (p value<0.001).The time to first defecation was statistically significantly shorter among peppermint research group than among coffee research group with 60 minutes difference p value <0.001. Defecation rate was statistically significantly higher among peppermint research group than among coffee research group. (p value<0.001).
