Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint Essential Oil (EO) is a true multi-tasker! Its many uses are stimulating and to help you study for an exam, for headaches, tension, tired muscles, back problems, arthritis, respiratory infections, digestive problems, travel sickness, morning sickness, just to mention a few.

I love to add it to my base cream and use it for tired feet. I gave it to my marathon-running friends to soothe their over-exhausted legs and muscles. It is stimulating after standing up on your feet all day long. The cream feels invigorating to your feet and since the soles of your feet are gateways to your entire body, guess what?! Your entire body benefits from your foot cream!

❀ If you need to stay awake to study for an exam or if you have trouble breathing due to a cold, put 2-3 drops of Peppermint EO into a diffuser.

❀ Suffer from bad breath? No problem. Place 1 drop of Peppermint Oil on a piece of bread and eat it. You can also use sugar or sometimes I drop it onto an apple slice.

❀ Like flavored coffee? 1 drop of Peppermint EO will give you a nice minty flavor.

❀ Massage 1 drop of Peppermint EO onto your temples and/or the back of your neck to relief headaches. NOTE: the EO will give you a burning yet cooling feeling. Stay away from sensitive areas such as your eyes.

❀ For nausea, rub several drops of Peppermint EO onto your abdomen.

❀ Peppermint EO can also bring down a fever or relieve hot flashes. Massage a few drops into the soles of your feet.

❀ Inhaling Peppermint EO can also curb your appetite. So if you want to loose weight or if you have a craving for sweet, inhale some Peppermint EO.

The uses are endless and there is a great site that lists even more... read testimonials of Peppermint EOs
