Our Organic Peppermint Essential oil is a versatile oil with a wide variety of uses as it does more than just give you a fresher breath! It can also be used to relieve stomach pains, clear congestion as well as relax your muscles. Do take note that Peppermint Essential Oil is more intense and has a stronger concentration than other essential oils. Though it is generally safe to apply topically; some methods to use it requires dilution with carrier oils such as olive oil or almond oil. Do take care when applying the essential oil on sensitive skin and is highly advised not to be used on young children.

2) Bloating and Indigestion

Add 1 drop of organic peppermint oil to your water before meals. Massage several drops on your abdomen. Inhaling peppermint oil helps curbing the appetite by triggering a sense of fullness.

3) Colds/Congestion

Massage 2-3 drops peppermint oil mixed with 1 tablespoon olive oil/carrier oil onto chest or drop into a humidifier to help clear sinus and lung congestion.

8) Reduce Fever

It is an excellent natural treatment to bring down a fever especially in children. Simply mix 5-8 drops peppermint oil with a tablespoon of coconut oil and rub it on a child’s neck and on the bottoms of their feet to help stabilize a fever instead of using aspirin or other drugs.
