Peppermint has been used for centuries for its revitalizing properties. The scent is invigorating to the senses and promotes energy and alertness. It is a refreshing and stimulating oil that is both soothing and enlightening. Peppermint has a cooling effect on the skin that is revitalizing and wonderful to the touch, due to its menthol content. With many amazing uses for this essential oil, it is a valuable addition to any oil collection.

To help relieve head and neck tension, dilute Peppermint to a 1-3% ratio with your favorite carrier oil and apply it to the neck and temples when tension occurs. It is also helpful to sniff when having a queasy stomach. For an amazing end-of-day foot soak, add a few drops to a teaspoon of carrier oil and ½ cup of Epsom salt dissolved in warm water.

Essential oils are highly concentrated which can differ in smell and can cause skin irritation. Do not apply them on the skin unless diluted.
