and versatile essential oil has been widely studied for its potential health
benefits and for its ability to enhance mental acuity. It is also known for its
impressive support of digestive functions.”
-Young Living
Peppermint is one of my favorite new oils.
Some of the ways I have used it so far:
1. Mix 2 drops or lemon and peppermint in
your water to drink each morning. Tastes delicious and gives you a natural
metabolism boost as well as cleansing your body of toxins. Use glass if
you are going to take longer than an hour to drink because the oils are very
potent!
2. Put 2 drops in an entire bottle of half
and half. I buy the kind from the store that has only 2 ingredients.
Delicious coffee creamer and peppermint hot cocoa maker! Plus, it helps
digestion meaning that drinking coffee hasn't been upsetting my tummy!!
3. Put 1 drop in a cup of hot water with honey
for an upset tummy or just a soothing, low calorie, uplifting, caffeine-free
evening drink. ;-)
4. Put one drop on the roof of your mouth
for headaches. Doesn't take mine completely away but tastes and feels awesome
and definitely soothes the pain and is all natural!
5. Mix 1 drop to every 10 drops of a
carrier oil, such as jojoba oil. Rub up and down your spine and on the bottoms
of your feet for a fever. Max had a fever one evening, and this worked great.
Peppermint has cooling properties.
6. Diffuse 2 drops of peppermint and 2 drops of lemon or Citrus
Fresh oil in the morning for an invigorating morning pick me up! You will look
forward to getting out of bed because it smells so amazing. ;-)
7. My boys love chocolate ice cream. I put 1 drop in a bowl of ice
cream, and it tastes so much more exciting and helps the milk not upset my
tummy. ;-)
8. Put one drop in your palm and breath in deeply. Ahhh!!!! Our
just open the bottle and breath. Instant pick me up and is supposed to improve
mental clarity. I keep a tiny bottle with me and it curbs cravings for sugar
when I am tired. Yes I can run around the park a few more times!! ;-)
8. Plan to cook with it next. Dark chocolate, peppermint brownies
anyone??!!
