Peppermint Grade-A, Essential Oil

Peppermint essential oil might just be the holy grail of natural pest repellents to leave around your home's entry points, as it can help keep away ticks, spiders, roaches, moths, flies, fleas, beetles, and ants. Use sachets of this oil near your doors and windows or try making a diffuser or spray.

Dab a couple drops of your oil mixture onto your fingers and massage it onto your temples, the back of your neck, your shoulders, and your chest area. Tension headaches are often caused by muscle contractions in this part of your body.

Peppermint oil is most widely used among Essential Oils in edible and nonedible products like beverages, ice cream, medicines, dental preparations, cosmetics and many more. You can also apply it topically to create a cool, tingling sensation on the skin, which can be very soothing after hard physical activity. It also helps alleviate occasional stomach upset and promotes healthy respiratory function.

• Add 1 drop in a base oil/carrier oil and massage over the abdomen to help intestinal spasm, indigestion, nausea, and irritable bowel syndrome.
• Inhalation and application on chest helps in clear breathing.
• Cools fatigued muscle after physical activity.
• Add in your smoothie for refreshing experience.

Peppermint oil should be kept away from children and infants as it may trigger breathing issues. The oil, in large doses, may also lead to seizures and harm the digestive system. It is also unsafe for the lungs and pregnant and lactating women. Caution is highly advised.
