Dredging the memory banks I recall chlorophyll being used (not sure if it's
tabs or "go out and mow the grass with your teeth dear") for a really smelly
colostomy by an experienced sister in the 70s (when we had experienced
sisters). Not sure if EBM tho ;-)
As for peppermint oil I suppose it would be the equivalent of Chlorets for
the anally challenged?
