Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint is one of my favorite essential oils!  I thought I'd write a blog post about it since it's the oil of the month at Spark Naturals!

Some tips about the Oil of the Month Club:

A 15 ml Peppermint Essential Oil at Spark Naturals is $18.45.  Each order you place is charged a $6.49 shipping fee unless your order is over $99.00.  

If you sign up for the Oil of the Month Club at Spark Naturals you can get this oil shipped to you free of charge and it's only $15.99!  It's a great deal! 

Here are some ways that we use Peppermint essential oil:

We use peppermint at the first sign of tummy issues.  Here's a previous post about a blend that we keep handy→TummyEase.

Have you heard that peppermint will help keep spiders away?  It will!! We add it to a spray bottle with witch hazel.→Spider Ban

We use peppermint when we are struggling to keep focus or if having a rough start to the morning due to sleepy minds or just fogginess as we start school.

We put 3 drops peppermint essential oil and 

3 drops wild orange essential oil

in the diffuser.

We use peppermint at the first sign of a headache.  Here's a post about another blend that we always keep handy→Headache Cease 

 
One of our most used EO (essential oil) blends is a salve that I make called Cold & Cough Chest Salve.  It contains peppermint along with a few other EO's. →Cold and Cough Chest Salve

We use peppermint if feeling queasy, have nausea, motion sickness or dizziness...especially in the car.  Try our Motion Potion blend.

Peppermint is a great essential oil to have handy at home or in your vehicle...

This blend was originally posted with Birch Essential Oil added to it.  I am currently doing some research on essential oils and until I have more info., I've decided to take the Birch out of this blend.
