Places to Use
Massage
In a diluted massage blend or bath, Peppermint essential oil is known to relieve back pain, mental fatigue, and coughs. It boosts circulation, releases the feeling of having tired feet, relieves muscular pain, cramps, and spasms, and soothes inflamed, itchy skin among other conditions.
Aromatherapy
In a diffuser, Peppermint oil can help to enhance relaxation, concentration, memory, energy, and wakefulness. Peppermint essential oil’s expectorant properties clear the nasal passageway to promote the relief of congestion and to encourage easy breathing. When diluted and inhaled or when rubbed in small amounts behind the ear, this digestive oil can reduce the feeling of nausea.
Hair Care
In shampoos, it can stimulate the scalp while also removing dandruff.
Skincare
When used topically in homemade moisturizers, Peppermint acts as an astringent that closes pores and tightens the skin. When diluted with a carrier oil such as coconut, it can promote the safe and healthy renewal of skin, thus offering relief from skin irritations such as sunburn.
Top Tips
Peppermint oil can also be used as a cleaning solvent to sanitize and deodorize the environment, leaving behind the trail of a fresh, cheerful scent. Not only will it disinfect surfaces, but it will also eliminate bugs in the home and function as an effective insect repellent.
Caution:
Do not use undiluted on the skin. Consult a physician before using, if pregnant, on medication, or having sensitive skin. Keep out of reach of children. Store in at a cool and dry place. Keep away from direct sunlight.
