Life can be stressful.
Between work, family, school, and your personal life, it is easy to get worn out and lose focus. Every now and then you just need to take a few minutes to yourself to breath, reflect, and regain your stamina. Peppermint essential oil may be just what you need for that boost! Peppermint, Mentha piperita, is reported to be useful in helping to ease or sooth a variety of minor ailments, including, but not limited to, headaches, motion sickness, depression, lack of focus, nausea, respiratory infections, and heartburn. There are several ways to use essential oils safely, and if you are suffering from any medical conditions or pregnant, you should always consult your doctor before using peppermint essential oil. To boost your energy level, place the peppermint essential oil bottle under your nose and waft the crisp scent towards your nostrils. You can also apply two drops to a tissue or washcloth to dilute the strength of the oil. To ease that nasty headache, soothe your temples and forehead with a few drops of the uplifting and stimulating oil blended in a carrier oil along with a few drops of lavender essential oil.
When applying to the skin, always dilute the peppermint oil, or any other essential oil, with a carrier oil, such as cocoa butter, jojoba, olive, rose hip, or shea butter oils. To understand the power of peppermint, you need to move beyond candy canes! Terressentials stores offer two varieties of certified organic peppermint essential oil, as well as air fresheners so you can enhance your home, car, or work with peppermint essential oil. We also offer an assortment of fresh and minty certified organic products in our Terressentials body care line, so you can wash, moisturize, or massage with a hint of lively peppermint essential oil.
