Peppermint essential oil can reduce the physical discomfort of pain, and works actively to heal the wound itself because it contains anti-inflammatory substances. This property is why peppermint oil is often used to battle headaches and migraine, as well as sore muscles and stiff joints.
Peppermint essential oil can help you:
- Increase your blood flow
- Clean the air of bacteria and viruses
- Antiviral and anti-inflammatory
- Natural substitute for bleach
How to use:
Topical: Dilute one drop of oil with several drops of carrier oil (increase or decrease based on preference/sensitivity) and then apply to the desired area on your body, if necessary.
Aromatic: Use three to four drops in a diffuser or use for direct inhalation. Create a DIY air freshener with peppermint and spread it to banish musty smells.
Our peppermint essential essential oil comes from the leaves of the mint plant. This plant grows low to the ground and produces small pink lavender-like flowers. The essential oil is praised for its revitalizing properties. It’s uplifting and mind-expanding, and lets you take deep breaths again. Perfect for yoga, for example. The scent best describes itself as: cool, fresh and grassy.
